Six Nations rugby: Howley set for milestone appearance

Rob Howley, who will become Wales’ most capped scrum-half when he steps out against Ireland at Lansdowne Road on Sunday, has seen many changes in the game, not to mention his country’s line-up, since scoring a try on his Test debut against England at Twickenham in 1996.

And the fact Wales have made seven changes and cast him as the old head in a relatively inexperienced back division, could make his 55th appearance for his country one of his most challenging.
