Is Swansea RFC v Barbarians on TV? Kick-off time and team news as Alun Wyn Jones to achieve career first

The Barbarians head to St Helen's to face Swansea RFC on Wednesday evening, where Wales legend Alun Wyn Jones is set to play for both sides in the same match.

Jones, 37, announced his retirement from international rugby earlier this month after making a world record 170 Test match appearances (158 for Wales and 12 for the British and Irish Lions).

Soon afterwards, he linked up with the Baabaas and captained them to a victory over a World XV at Twickenham on Sunday, and will now pull on the famous jersey for a second time in his hometown of Swansea, before switching allegiances after half-time. Jones made 35 appearances for his hometown club between 2004 and 2006.
