Wales record international points scorer Neil Jenkins will make an emotional farewell appearance in the tour game against the Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.

Fly-half Jenkins, who recently announced his retirement from Test rugby, is certain of an raucous send-off when he appears at some stage off the bench.

Cardiff flanker Martyn Williams will captain the side in what will be Wales' final game before embarking on a tough trip Down Under, where they will play Australia in Sydney on June 14th and New Zealand at Hamilton seven days later.

Wales coach Steve Hansen has selected several of his more experienced players, including Williams, back-row colleague Colin Charvis, Neath lock Gareth Llewellyn and Llanelli fly-half Stephen Jones.

But there are also opportunities for the likes of in-form Llanelli player Garan Evans, who will start at full-back, together with former rugby league star Iestyn Harris.

Harris will start at inside-centre, partnering Mark Taylor in midfield, while Rhys Williams, Wales' full-back in many of their recent Tests, moves to the wing.
