Biggar takes over from Jones with most starts for Wales at No 10 ... (Welsh Rugby Union)

Today Dan Biggar overtakes Stephen Jones for the most starts at outside half for Wales with 84 when he starts his 84thinternational in the coveted No 10.

โ€˜Jenksโ€™ ended up with a then record 41 points in that series โ€“ a figure that was overtaken by Leigh Halfpenny in Australia in 2013 when he notched 49. Twenty-five year ago this week, Jenkins famously kicked five penalties to give the 1997 British & Irish Lions a 2-0 lead in the series in an 18-15 series clinching victory. Jones scored 39 points in the 2009 series in South Africa in 2009, including a then record equalling 20 points in the last-gasp defeat at Loftus Versfeld in 2009.
