Taulupe Faletau's growing family, the Gareth Bale link and his worst nightmare

Taulupe Faletau will win his 100th Wales cap when he runs out against France on Saturday.

The quiet 32-year-old No. 8 has been one of Wales' most consistent performers of the modern era, becoming a mainstay through Wales' Six Nations success under Warren Gatland and playing five Tests for the British and Irish Lions over three tours since his international career began back in 2011 with a debut against the Barbarians.

He becomes the eighth member of an exclusive Welsh 100-cap club that comprises George North, Dan Biggar, Alun Wyn Jones, Gethin Jenkins, Stephen Jones, Gareth Thomas and Martyn Williams.
