A SPECIAL DAY TODAY FOR WALES' TROJAN ... CAPTAIN ALUN-WYN JONES<3

When he steps out on the Twickenham pitch today he becomes

WALES' MOST CAPPED PLAYER OF ALL TIME!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/49292131

Wales head coach has hailed his record breaking captain Alun Wyn Jones as he becomes the most capped Welshman when he leads his side out tomorrow with

126 CAPS FOR WALES
& 9 Caps for the British and Irish Lions.

''In the last 12 months, he's done an outstanding job as captain. He's a player that led incredibly well by example and his attitude during the Six Nations'' said Wales Head Coach Warren Gatland.

“He’s comfortable in the position he’s in at the moment and he deserves the accolades that are thrown his way. What I like about him at the moment is his calmness and the respect he has from the other players.''



Alun-Wyn Jones will lead an experienced side out at Twickenham today before a swift turnaround for the return fixture at Principality Stadium next Saturday, 17th August.

WELL DONE ALUN-WYN JONES <3

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,

Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Gwlad, gwlad,
