(Reuters) - Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones will equal the record for most test appearances if he plays on Saturday against France in Paris.

The 35-year-old lock is expected to be selected by coach Wayne Pivac on Thursday when he names the matchday squad for the game at Stade de France, which is a warm-up for both countries ahead of the belated completion of the Six Nations on Oct. 31.
