The Wales Six Nations clash against Scotland may be a dead rubber when it comes to the title, but it will be a moment in rugby history as Alun Wyn Jones becomes the player the most capped of all time
The Wales captain will make his 149th international appearance, combining what will be his 140th selection for his country with his nine British and Irish Lions tests, to see him surpass the previous record held by Richie McCaw
Never one to want to monopolize the limelight, Jones will be determined to see his side return to victory after a rare four-game losing streak, after suffering Six Nations losses to Ireland, France and England before the defeat last weekend in a warm-up match with the French
Scotland sit above Wales in the table and know that a victory will not only delay Wayne Pivac’s side in terms of final position, but could see them place in the top three
