England rugby star's personal testimony on Adam Jones says it all
England rugby star Kyle Sinckler has hailed the mentorship of Adam Jones.
Jones has recently been revealed as Wales' new scrum coach going into the Six Nations, taking a short break from his commitments with Premiership giants Harlequins.
Speaking in his latest MailOnline column, Wales rugby legend has revealed that Sinckler, who previously played for Harlequins, has been singing the praises of 'Bomb'.

"He’s brilliant at what he does and has a track record of helping bring through young props," began Biggar. "Kyle Sinckler really went to another level in his game when working with Bomb at Harlequins. Kyle is now my team-mate at Toulon.
"His words on Bomb are far better than mine as what I know about scrums wouldn’t even cover the back of a fag packet!
"'Without the mentorship of Adam, I would not have achieved the things I have and the goals I have set in the future,’ Kyle told me this week.
"'There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t use the knowledge he passed down to me, whether that be scrummaging, professionalism, referee management, or how to set the right example for others. The list goes on and on. I’ll forever be indebted and grateful to Bomb for the time we spent together'".
This isn't the first time Sinckler has sung the praises of Jones, revealing in 2017 that having Bomb as a team-mate was life-changing. The legendary Welsh prop spent the final three years of his career at the London club before retiring in 2018, and he has remained there as a coach ever since.
"When you have guys like that around you, it shows you what it takes to get to the top of the game," explained Sinckler. "He has been a massive help to me - probably changed my life, to be honest, in the way I see things.
"He is a top bloke, a good man.
"Looking back now, when you are a young player, you want to play. Then you see Adam Jones come in to the club, and you are probably not going to play as much.
"From my first day, Adam has been unreal. He's been like a coach to me, even though he is a player. He will be a top coach in no time at all. He's been a coach, a mentor, a father figure to me - and a headmaster when he is telling me off."
