The Y11 news has sparked concern among supporters who fear it could mean the end of the region as the WRU prepares to reduce the number of professional sides from four to three.<\/p>\n
Jones says he heard the news of Y11’s interest from his wife, who showed him a media article.<\/p>\n
The former Wales wing says the uncertainty is the major issue, with little clarity from the meeting.<\/p>\n
“We didn’t get anywhere near the amount of clarity everyone was looking for,” said Jones.<\/p>\n
“There are so many things that are unknown. It does make it difficult. I understand there’s levels of conversations that happen way above my remit and my role and have to remain private.<\/p>\n
“Where this has been difficult is the leaks that have happened before our people and family have been told what’s coming out. That’s the hard bit to deal with.<\/p>\n
“That’s the frustrating bit, we’re hearing it second-hand and sometimes through my children or my partner. Everybody else is the same.<\/p>\n
“They’re asking questions and you don’t have the answers and that’s the most difficult thing to manage at the moment.”<\/p>\n
Jones was asked whether he thought Ospreys being in talks to buying Cardiff was a betrayal.<\/p>\n
He replied: “It depends what it looks like. What does buying Cardiff mean? That’s what the question on everybody’s lips, that’s the crucial bit. Then you can decide whether it’s a betrayal or not.<\/p>\n
“We don’t know what is behind it at the moment, so once we get that and understand what the why is, what the plan is, what it looks like for each individual and team, then you can decide whether you think it’s a good thing or not.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Y11 news has sparked concern among supporters who fear it could mean the end of the region…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-428198","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
