CARDIFF (Reuters) - Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones did not want to dwell on equalling the record for the most test appearances when he leads his country against France on Saturday, but reiterated his commitment to continue playing at the age of 35.

"I'm very fortunate again to put on the red of Wales but I'm probably past my days of looking back too far and (instead) I'm looking forward and that's what I'll focus on," he told reporters after the captain's run at the Stade de France on Friday.
