I would add to accommplishments not just winning the six nations in 2004, but winning it via a grand slam, no less. I think 2003-when they played with so much heart and pluck in the world cup, and 2004 were the high water marks for Welsh rugby.

I assume you mean the non-related Adam & Duncan Jones by the "Jones Brothers"? Happens to be a rather popular surname in these parts.

Also we last won the Grandslam in 2005.

Mr Bungle - thanks for dropping by. Just checking you were reading properly re the 'Slam'. Aren't all on the same team 'brothers in arms'?
Hope you drop by again and thanks for the comments.
Peace
