Barbarians 48-42 World XV: Alun Wyn Jones leads Baa-baas to victory at Twickenham

Alun Wyn Jones led the Barbarians to victory over a World XV at Twickenham in what might be one of the last times we see Test rugby's most-capped player on the pitch.

There's still the small matter of the Barbarians' clash with Jones' hometown club Swansea next week, but there's no guarantee of how long he'll continue to play the sport.

If this was it, at Twickenham at least, then he signed off with a couple of shanked conversions as he enjoyed the fun and festivities of a Barbarians clash in the May sunshine.

The former Wales captain had announced his sudden retirement from the international game over a week ago, bringing to an end the hopes of a fifth World Cup.

Whether that decision was the right one was never going to be decided by a throwabout in the English capital, but, captaining the Barbarians in his first outing for the famous club, he certainly got into the spirit of the Baa-Baas.

There were no-look offloads and an overwhelming desire to loiter out wide for cross-field kicks from Wales team-mate Gareth Anscombe.

There were nine tries before the break, with the World XV - coached by Steve Hansen - racing out to a 21-5 lead early on before Eddie Jones' team reeled them back in.

After Sebastian Negri's opening score for the World XV, the Baa-Baas hit back through a close-range driving maul - with winger Adam Radwan scoring to ensure it wasn't entirely conventional.

Further scores from Sbu Nkosi and Api Ratuniyarawa showed that the World XV were more than happy to play up to the occasion, with both coming from remarkable offloads from Semi Radradra and Israel Folau.

Tevita Li crossed for the Baa-Baas after a delicate chip over the top from Quade Cooper, before Folau did similar for the World XV after a kick ahead
