Rugby Legend Alun Wyn Jones Diagnosed with Heart Condition

Jones calls for more regular heart screening for players, highlighting the need for comprehensive player welfare.

Alun Wyn Jones, the most capped player in rugby history, was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a heart condition, during a medical check when he joined French club Toulon in July on a short-term contract.
Jones, who made 158 appearances for Wales and 12 for the British and Irish Lions, announced his retirement from international rugby in May.
The heart condition was discovered just as Jones was transitioning to the next phase of his life after his retirement.
Jones has called for more regular heart screening for players, stating that player welfare should cover all aspects, not just what can be afforded.
Despite the diagnosis, Jones decided to play for Toulon, stating that it gave him an opportunity to experience and get perspective on his career and life.
