Well, he's wrong with his answer to question 1. Alun Davies is captain of the Assembly football team and has been since his election. John stepped down to concentrate on his Ministerial duties.

Not a good start for Mr Jenkins, I shall not bother with the rest since it seems he can't even get the answers right.
