Cardiff v Ospreys team news as Alun Wyn Jones reaches yet another career milestone

Alun Wyn Jones will make his 250th appearance for the Ospreys when he lines up against Cardiff at the Arms Park on Saturday evening (5.15pm). It’s the Lions captain’s first outing since he returned from five months out with shoulder damage in Wales’ final Six Nations fixture versus Italy.

He figures alongside a number of fellow internationals including Adam Beard, Alex Cuthbert, Tomas Francis, Owen Watkin, Rhys Webb and Gareth Anscombe, with scrum-half Webb acting as skipper. You can read the thoughts of Ospreys coach Toby Booth on Alun Wyn here.

In the Cardiff ranks, there’s a return for exciting young wing Theo Cabango, who has sat out the last couple of games, while No 8 James Ratti is fit again, along with centre Rey Lee-Lo, with flanker Josh Navidi continuing as captain. Prop Corey Domachowski and wing Aled Summerhill and are both sidelined by injury following last week’s Challenge Cup clash with Saracens.

It’s the first time the Ospreys have visited the Arms Park for a league match in nine years, with the majority of fixtures having taken place at the Principality Stadium as part of Judgement Day in recent years.

Cardiff Director of Rugby Dai Young said: “We’re all really excited about the opportunity that presents itself and are looking forward to getting back in front of our home fans. We let ourselves down the last time we were here against the Scarlets so there is no shortage of motivation to prove a point and right some wrongs.

“The boys are desperate to give themselves and everyone associated with the club something to be proud of and we go into the game on the back of a much-improved performance against Saracens. We know we need to hit that level of performance once again and maintain it for the full 80
