"A well-known saying but one that sums up Stephen Jones’ Wales career in a nutshell.
Over the last 13 years, outside-halves have come and gone in the red of Wales – but Jones has always been there.

"Today, the Scarlets star makes his 100th appearance for Wales against the Barbarians in Cardiff, drawing level with fellow centurion Gareth Thomas as his country’s most capped international."
