Alun Wyn Jones will become world rugby’s most capped player without his family present after a request to the Welsh Government for them to attend was rejected because of national coronavirus rules.

Jones will win his 149th Test cap in the Guinness Six Nations finale against Scotland on Saturday, but his family are unable to share the moment with him in Llanelli because of the lockdown situation in Wales.
