Lyn Jones has left the Ospreys by mutual consent following another disappointing season in the Magners League and Heineken Cup despite winning the EDF Energy Cup.

Jones feels he needs a fresh challenge after spending ten years with the Welsh region

It's been on the cards for a while given the amount of pressure and lack of trophies in the Liberty Stadium cabinet.

Considering they've got 95% of the Welsh team as well as a shed load of cash, the defeat to Saracens in the Heineken Cup quarter-final was arguably the last straw.

Names in the running include Scott Johnson, Steve Hansen as well as Jake White and Nick Mallet. So it's fair to say they're none to concerned about the wage-bill.
