Wales' most capped player in history and one of the finest locks the game has seen, whose extraordinary leadership, aerial dominance and durability across 180 test caps made him a genuine rugby legend.

Alun Wyn Jones is Welsh rugby's greatest player and the world's most-capped international rugby player, earning more than 160 caps for Wales and the British & Irish Lions. A dominant second row whose physicality, leadership, and exceptional lineout skills have made him the cornerstone of Welsh forward play for nearly two decades. He captained the Lions in South Africa in 2021 — remarkably after recovering from a dislocated shoulder suffered early in the tour.
