The day Colin Charvis left team-mate stunned as he was introduced to Nelson Mandela on historic Wales tour

Steve "Jabba" Jones was introduced to Nelson Mandela on a Wales tour in 2004. He didn't play in the match, but he was selected to start against South Africa at the Millennium Stadium five months later. He was playing some of his best rugby of the career at that time. His first cap was in Japan in 2001. Mike Ruddock called him in on Wednesday and he started against the Springboks on Saturday. The photo of him shaking hands with Mandela is his profile picture on Twitter. It is also his mother's original. She is proud of it. For him, it was a proud moment.

Colin Charvis was introduced to Nelson Mandela as Jabba on historic Wales tour. Jones was called Jabbah by his brother when he was a kid. He was going to school and teachers didn't know his name, so they called him Jaba.
