at the Millennium Stadium

WALES won a free-flowing game against the iconic Barbarians in a nostalgic goodbye to three faithful servants of Welsh rugby at the weekend.

Wales’s most capped player, and former captain Alan Wyn Jones, in his final game at the Millennium Stadium bagged a try and man-of-the-match award as he rolled back the years for the Baa-Baas.

Justin Tipuric played an impressive game for the scratch side and almost scored a try himself.
