Scotland's Huw Jones has put himself firmly in contention for a British and Irish Lions spot after a standout performance against Argentina in Sydney. The centre's impressive display has caught the attention of Lions coach Andy Farrell, who is already planning for next year's tour.
Jones Stakes His Claim
The 30-year-old Glasgow Warriors star delivered a masterclass in midfield play during Scotland's summer test against Los Pumas. His two-try performance showcased both his attacking flair and defensive solidity, reminding selectors of his world-class potential.
Farrell Taking Notes
With Lions coach Andy Farrell watching closely from the stands, Jones couldn't have timed his resurgence better. The former Harlequins player has overcome injury setbacks to rediscover the form that made him one of Europe's most dangerous centres in 2018.
Midfield Competition Heats Up
Jones faces stiff competition for a Lions jersey, with Ireland's Robbie Henshaw and Bundee Aki both in outstanding form. However, his ability to play both 12 and 13 positions gives him valuable versatility that could prove crucial in selection debates.
As the countdown to the 2025 Lions tour begins, Jones has sent a powerful message to the selectors. His Sydney performance suggests the best may yet be to come for the Edinburgh-born back.
