As the rugby Autumn Internationals draw near, Warren Gatland is facing public criticism for leaving Adam Jones, 95 capped prop and triple six nations winner, out of the squad. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This controversial move has left fans disappointed. The curly haired prop has earned the respect of many welsh rugby supporters and has a major influence over the game both physically and mentally. His experience provides the rest of the squad with confidence and reassurance.<\/p>\n

However, Gatland feels that Jones is not ready for the upcoming matches. And, as the scrum rules<\/a> have changed, he needs to adapt and develop his skills within the scrum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the game develops, \u201cMore paramount is the ability of front rows to be more mobile, something Adam continues to work on,\u201d said Gatland at the WRU press conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gatland is using the Autumn Internationals as a platform to develop the Welsh talent ready for the World Cup in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
