Alun Wyn Jones, Justin Tipuric and Leigh Halfpenny had a rousing send off in Wales’ 49-26 win over the Barbarians.

Leigh Halfpenny waves to fans following his final Wales appearance in the 49-26 win over the Barbarians .

A crowd of 53,000 roared its approval, with a prolonged standing ovation afforded to Halfpenny when he went off 13 minutes from time proving particularly memorable. Halfpenny is now set for a move to the southern hemisphere, with Super Rugby heavyweights the Crusaders his likely destination, while Jones is currently with French club Toulon and Tipuric remains a key figure in Ospreys colours.

Replacements Taine Plumtree, Aaron Wainwright and Kieran Hardy claimed second-half touchdowns for Wales, though, with Halfpenny and Cai Evans each adding two conversions, with Barbarians flanker Tom Hooper also scoring a try, converted by Ben Donaldson.
