AWJ is here to brighten our Monday!

Its been a while since an AWJ post, he knew this, that's why he posed for this photo.
Didn't you know? All Rugby Union players read this blog, DUH!

An Alun Wyn Jones Post

...brought to you by my all time favourite picture of AWJ:

I am loving this unruly beard he looks just like a viking! You can conquer my lands anytime, Al ;)

Congratulations AWJ!

Our boyfriend Alun Wyn Jones has just been named the new captain for the Ospreys, and while we'll shed a tear for Ryan Jones, we're also quite excited that AWJ gets to fulfill his prophecy. Welsh captaincy next? Very probable!

Le roi est mort, vie le roi!

In other news Tommy Bowe has won the Magners League Player of the Year Award (the award to which AWJ is accepting above). THAT BITCH! Is there anything he can't do, all the boys must be jealous!

Magners League Finals

catch-up post #3

Sorry for the watermarks, I tried to find them without the tags but alas I could not, and they're not that bad, it'll do.

FYI: The Ospreys beat Leinster

RUDE

Tommy Bowe scores a try. The Pope's Catholic.

I love photos like these, its Where's Waldo books!

Do you remember Where's Waldo? Remember how when your class went to the library, you had race to the section where the Waldo books were because, your classmates were selfish little snots and if they got the book before you they kept it for the ENTIRE library hour and didn't share? Then you'd be stuck reading Curious George for the 43rd time. UGH. Waldo and the pop up books were always the first to go. Children are such brats!

Nikki Walker is a pro at the "Presidential walk across the tarmac wave"

What was he growing on his upper lip?

This has nothing to do with rugby by Sonny Parker strikes me as that old guy at the club who's like 35, hitting on girls 10-15 years younger than him, desperately clinging to his youth, when really why aren't you home diversifying your portfolio or contributing to your RRSP? I only say this because he legitimately hangs out with Cai Griffiths who's 24 and has terrible grammar. I mean I don't know anything about his personal life but, he just seems the type. Apologies if you're not that lame old guy at the club, Parker.

We get a thumbs up from AWJ, this makes it all worth it!

Since the Stanely Cup Finals Suck...

Tomorrow is the Guinness Premiership and Magners League finals. Its Leicester Tigers v Saracens; and Leinster v Ospreys and everything's coming to a very dramatic conclusion The media hype machine is well under way. Who will win? What will be the score? Will there be tears? Will there be glory?

Clearly I would like the Tigers and the Ospreys to win just because I feel like both teams deserve it more, independent of any fangirling, okay?

In preparation of the epicness that will surely go down tomorrow:

ALUN WYN JONES DID AN INTERVIEW Mike Phillips was there too

BEN YOUNGS DID AN INTERVIEW


TOMMY BOWE DID A PHOTOSHOOT

and I'm not sure how I feel about the plaid shorts...

...now that we all have the same desktop background, good night and good luck to the boys!

BREAKING NEWS: Alun Wyn Jones Has His Own Website

Upon discovering alunwynjones.com, I thought I should do the responsible thing and give him some free advertising.

From the looks of things it seems pretty new, there isn't much on there, and it only shows up on the second page of google search results for Alun Wyn Jones- oh wow, just outed myself
didn't, I?

...

ANYWAY, I'm like 100% sure that AWJ has a hand in his website unlike other athlete's websites where they pay a person/people to pose as them, how can I be so sure well, check out the bio section:

Alun-Wyn Jones has an affinity with the letter "L": - He is studying to be a Lawyer at Swansea University, he is a Lock forward and a Leader of his country with tenacity and drive to be the best.

He wrote that! Honestly! Remember when he was a 'work horse'(2:11):



What the hell is that? He neighed! I can't even bring myself to watch that clip, I get so much second hand embarrassment. He sooo wrote that thinking it was so witty, and funny, and cool! When really its- *ahem* Oh Alun on with the dad jokes, already and you're only 24!

On the blog there is information we already know and pictures we've already seen (conspicuously missing is his Lions head shot, which I believe documents his best hair cut!) but isn't it exciting knowing the 'work horse' is behind it? Now I know what my new homepage is going to be...

Obligatory AWJ Photo:


gets me everytime!

Alun Wyn Jones To Tie Us Over

This is my all time favourite photo of AWJ so be prepared to see it a lot!

Sorry. Its March and any University student knows what that means. I'm currently writing two essays both due on the same day next week and have over 20 books to read; the coles notes version: I'm screwed! So I probably won't get to post until next week, don't worry I have something planned which we'll all enjoy!

Here's an interview I found with Alun Wyn Jones a while back, and once again, he reinforces the school girl crush, lucky for him it saved him from being banished forever...oh but that's for another post. Okay on to AWJ (ha that rhymed)

A. Justin Harrison

A. Las Vegas

This is related to what almost ruined AWJ forever

A. Cai Griffiths

Believable!

Man Crush Alert

Get ready boys and girls because we have another man crush on our hands!

I have no fucking clue what Scott Johnson is even saying about Mike Phillips, not that I really care about Mike Phillips but it is a wonder when someone speaks your native tongue and you still have no clue what they're saying.



When Johnson got to Alun Wyn Jones, he started speaking English, and aren't we glad he did? Its clear there's a man crush going on, which is a welcome occurrence, because since Danny Gare fell off the face of the earth, we stopped hearing how ~*amazing*~ Jared Boll is. Anyway, he validated what we suspected from AWJ all along; he's intelligent, passionate, and a sweet Welsh boy. I'm still convinced he tells the worst jokes in the world, he just looks like type...yea that type does exist, believe me, I've met them...and they resemble AWJ...

Doesn't this video just warm your cockles? So nice after the barrage of bad news. I'm hoping next weekend's games will provide better results than what we've been getting

Sorry Tom

So the Tigers lost to the Ospreys, boo hoo.

Don't get me wrong I am heartbroken, I mean Jordan Crane did his roots for nothing, NOTHING! Why is life so cruel?

I predicted that Leicester were going to take it but alas the Ospreys are keen to fulfil the long unfulfilled prophecy.

Anyway, wipe away those tears because this post is going to be about my school girl crush on Alun Wyn Jones. He's so fine isn't he?

He seems really sweet, and he likes to use idioms quite a lot, which shows that he's intelligent, and he's HUGE, if you were to wear one of his sweaters it would be like a snuggie! Alright one of you needs to steal one of AWJ's hoodies!

Here's the plan (jump to 6:18-7:30):


Fool proof, right?

Besides all of that, he looks good in a suit and that's all that matters!

*sigh*





Oh he knows EXACTLY what he's doing!

Oh.

Get ready for some snark and rugby smut!


Apparently Mike Phillips is hot...

Personally he doesn't tickle my fancy. I honestly don't get the appeal, for me he's not that good looking, its only his eyes that could make him but word on the street is he's kind of an asshole and coupled with the fact that in 15 years he will look like David James (bad guy from District 9) Phillips is a no go for me.



Recently he broke up with his girlfriend to be with the overrated Welsh singer Duffy.

Really?


Well, apparently Mike Phillips broke up with his ex through a note (was someone watching Sex and the City?) saying he wanted to be the Beckham of rugby or something to that affect, his response:

Your ex-girlfriend told a tabloid that you wanted to live a celebrity lifestyle like David Beckham, so you ditched her for a more famous woman.

Er, no. I don't think so. All I want to do is be with someone who's got their own thing going on, their own job and their own career; who's independent. I just want someone who's similar to me and who wants to do well for themselves in life.

the guardian

OH SNAP!



OH SNAP!


PLEASE, you know its true, homeboy didn't even have enough decency or courage to break up with his live-in girlfriend, in person. And while I'm sure Duffy's a lovely woman, based on his ex, I'm thinking Duffy's not exactly his type, ya know? She would fit better with Mark Ronson or someone of his ilk.

And if Mike Phillips wants to be the Beckham of rugby he's far behind Danny Cipriani, why? Well for one thing he was invited to an Armani fashion show, rubbing elbows with the designer himself AND he's hitting this:



Yeah, Mike, your leagues behind, LEAGUES!

Quote of the Day

When asked who the worst singer on the Osprey's sqaud Adam Jones (right) said this:

Definitely Alun Wyn Jones, he’s got a tidyish voice but he only knows the first line of every song.

Oh bb! My heart, it melts. Why do I find this so adorable?

PS AWJ is taking over, uh oh! Sorry Tom,

There will be more of you I promise on our completely serious, completely imaginary real, relationship, heh. I SWEAR! Forgive?

What's on my iPod: Alun Wyn Jones

Alun Wyn Jones is certainly making a case for himself. It may be time for me to bombard you with Alun Wyn Jones Picture Posts, although that might make Crofty jealous, lol.

Anyways here's a sample of what AWJ listens to. I can't get over how normal and humble he is, makes me admire him even more! I think he makes a better golden boy than Jamie Roberts. Don't get me wrong, love Jamie Roberts as well (clearly) but Roberts seems too keen, too up to the task, you know what I mean? Like he's been prepping for fame and glory whereas AWJ is more natural, he goes with the flow but still gracious, still humble. I prefer AWJ's approach, personally plus I really hate Jamie Roberts' new haircut, WHY? You aren't 35, grow that shit out!



moving on...


Good Riddance - Green Day

AWJ: I like this because it's a feel good song and it really motivates me when I need a lift before a game.

Me: I wouldn't necessarily call this a 'feel good song'. Its kind of sad actually but hey its a good song.

In your dreams - Kittie (Babe its actually 'In dreams')

AWJ: I like this purely because it is loud and fun

Me: Ummmm. Dude I like Kittie...back in grade 7.

Gangsters Paradise - Coolio

AWJ: This is a favourite. I really like the lyrics to work out to in the gym.

Me: Ahahahahahaha! This makes me love AWJ even more. AMAZING

There Is No Easy Way Out - Robert Tepper

AWJ: I like this because it reminds me of the movie Rocky and I like the title.

Me: Alun Wyn Jones, its official, I'm in love with you!

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

AWJ: I like the rhythm to this song. I find it motivational and it gets me going.

Me: I'm not getting a motivational vibe here. Romantic, yes. Epic, yes. but motivational? NO! Whatever I love this song!

c/o the BBC

Let's Talk About Alun Wyn Jones for a Moment

Alun's a babe and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Ok yea, he's got impossible hair and goofy ears but the boy's effing hot! He's the only man I've ever come across that actually looks good with a soul patch! True he's not a 'first glance' kind of dude, as in he wouldn't melt you panties at first glance but everytime you look at him you like him more and more, and then all of a sudden you get it.

I get it.


He's really tall (6'6), has a nice build; built like a truck but he's not too big, it suits his tall frame and he looks good in a suit! I love his smile, and his teeth(teeth are very important, ok?)! UGH, and his southern Welsh accent...hmmm.

Alun with our boyfriend, Jamie Roberts.

He's a passionate welshmen and a legend in the making but the best part about Alun Wyn Jones besides the fact that he's also studying law(that's right, LAW!), is that he's so humble, and so sweet, and so gracious. There is not an air of arrogance, a whif of cockiness, a scent of entitlement; he has every reason to be the biggest wanker in the Magners League but he's not, Jones is a gentleman!

Watch the first 2 minutes of this video, look how humble he is, how shocked he is that he's been named captain, the utter disbelief, the excitment; how very endearing! Its in stark contrast to this little gem and to top it all off he's not a mouth breather!

These, and many reasons more, are why he deserves to be on our perving radar, let the games begin!


Although I am a little worried. He does hang out with the pretty party boys of The Ospreys...yes that includes Tommy Bowe. I don't know, whether or not this assumption is true but I'm holding on to the belief that Alun is the 'smart/responsible' one of the group, he's the one that bails Mike Phillips out of jail all the time, I'm sure of it!

Tommy Bowe Makes Monday Tolerable

Hey y'all. The weekend is over (boo!) but here to turn our frowns upside down and brighten our Monday is the delectable Tommy Bowe. Oh yeaaaaah, its a picture post.

Workin it out for Ireland!

Passing? Receiving? Who knows!

Ohohooo! Tommy's giving someone a spanking!

Taking on 3 guys is quite ambitious!

Who ever said white as part of a rugby kit was a good idea was not thinking of the laundry bill!

Oooo two fro the price of one, Jamie Roberts coming up behind Bowe!

mmm Man Love

Bun this, boys! Why not a hug or passoinate embrace, this ain't south central!

Bowe's muscle definition is out of this world I'm sure he makes all the boys jealous

Doin it for the Lions!

Wow his shorts are reaaaalllly short...not that I'm complaining

For the gays ;)

Well hello there, sailor!

Rugby players have the best legs in the sports world, no lie!

Dear Tommy Bowe,

This is all your fault! If you weren't so goddamn good looking we wouldn't be having these posts and making inappropriate comments about the length of your shorts. We take no responsibility, because we have none, all our perving is on you, my friend. I hope your mum can forgive us one day, actually hopefully she can forgive you because this is ALL your doing!

Love,

Every single girl who has laid eyes on you.
