Scotland's Jones named in World Rugby team of the year

Glasgow Warriors centre Huw Jones has become only the second-ever Scot to be named in World Rugby's 'Dream Team of the Year'.

The 31-year-old has enjoyed a scintillating season for club, country and the British and Irish Lions, although he missed Scotland's autumn internationals through injury.

And while it has not been a year to remember for the national side, Jones has impressed, grabbing a hat-trick in the Six Nations opener against Italy and a further score in the 16-15 loss to England.

Jones' form earned him selection for the tour of Australia, where he was one of 11 Lions players to start all three Tests, scoring in the second match as Andy Farrell's side secured series victory.

At club level, Jones scored six tries in 10 appearances for Glasgow last term.

The World Rugby 'Dream Team' began in 2021, with former full-back Stuart Hogg in the inaugural year the only other Scot named.

World Rugby team of the year: Ox Nche (South Africa), Malcolm Marx (South Africa), Thomas du Toit (South Africa), Maro Itoje (England), Tadhg Beirne (Ireland), Pieter-Steph du Toit (South Africa), Tom Curry (England), Harry Wilson (Australia), Cam Roigard (New Zealand), Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (South Africa), Louis Bielle-Biarrey (France), Len Ikitau (Australia), Huw Jones (Scotland), Cheslin Kolbe (South Africa), Will Jordan (New Zealand).
