Alun Wyn Jones has opened up on just how much it will mean to him to walk out with his children when he wins his historic 150th Wales cap against Italy.
The Lions captain has recovered from two lots of surgery in time to reach the milestone in the final game of the Six Nations at the Principality Stadium. He has revealed his two daughters - six-year-old Mali and Efa, who is three - will accompany him as he takes the field.
His family couldn’t be there when he became the most-capped player in rugby history in October 2020, as his record-breaking 149th Test versus Scotland was played behind closed doors in Llanelli. Now his wife Anwen and their children can be there amid a 60,000-plus crowd as he starts in the second row.
