Wales will pay tribute to world-record cap-holder Alun Wyn Jones with a game against the Barbarians in Cardiff on 4 November, it has been announced.
Jones, who won 158 caps for Wales and also made 12 Test appearances for the British & Irish Lions, announced his retirement from professional rugby in May.
The 37-year-old lock has now signed for French side Toulon as World Cup cover after a lengthy career with Welsh club Ospreys.
But in November he is set to line up for an invitational Barbarians team coached by former England boss Eddie Jones, now in charge of his native Australia for a second spell, and the incoming All Blacks boss Scott Robertson.

The Principality Stadium non-cap match will also mark a homecoming for the Wales squad following the World Cup in France.
“Alun Wyn will have been the first name on many team-sheets for many years,” Robertson said a joint Welsh Rugby Union and Barbarians statement on Wednesday.
“And I am not only looking forward to meeting him and coaching him, but also watching him in his final dance with a passionate crowd.”
Jones led Wales on 48 occasions and is one of just seven Wales players since the Second World War to have won three Five or Six Nations Grand Slams.
