The Wales captain won his 96th cap in Dublin and he also played in three Tests for the British & Irish Lions in South Africa last summer. His debut came against Canada in 2008 when he was still a teenager and he was a Grand Slam winner with Wales in 2019 and a championship winner in 2013 and 2021.
Also waiting in the wings to reach three figures is Scarlets centre Jonathan Davies. He currently has 93 Welsh caps to his credit and six Test appearances for the British & Irish Lions.
Having made his Wales debut in Toronto against Canada in 2009 he has become one of the world game’s great centres. He has two Grand Slams, two more Six Nations titles and a series win with the Lions in Australia and a draw in New Zealand.
Gareth Thomas was the first Welsh player to reach 100 caps both overall and for Wales. He notched his century against France on 26 August 2007 in a warm-up game for the World Cup and then reached double figures for Wales in the tournament game against Fiji in Nantes a month later in what was his final international appearance.
