Alun Wyn Jones – The Greatest Osprey Goes Past Paul James, Duncan Jones, Dan Biggar, Shane Williams, Barry Williams, Scot Gibbs . . .

Alun Wyn Jones will pass another milestone on Friday night with a salute from one of those he has overtaken on the way. The Wales captain will play his 233rd match for the region when they host Zebre at the Liberty Stadium – more than any other player in their 15-year history. Andrew Millward, the Ospreys’ managing director, is one of those who have been long passed on the road by the second row who will edge past Paul James’ mark of 232.
