**Alun Wyn Jones has described it as “an honour and a privilege” as he prepares to win his 150th Wales cap and make rugby union history.** The 36-year-old returns to Wales’ starting line-up against Guinness Six Nations opponents Italy on Saturday. It will be his first appearance for more than four months, having undergone two operations after suffering a shoulder injury during Wales’ Autumn Nations Series loss to New Zealand. Ospreys lock Jones’ latest landmark means he will become the first player in international rugby to feature 150 times for their country. He broke former New Zealand captain Richie McCaw’s world record of 148 Test match appearances in October 2020, having played 140 Wales games and featured in nine British and Irish Lions Tests at that time.
