Lock Alun Wyn Jones will captain defending champions Wales in their Six Nations rugby opener against Italy at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium this weekend, with Sam Warburton on the bench.
Jones, who last captained Wales against Italy in 2009, leads a side bidding to win an unprecedented third consecutive Six Nations crown.
He takes over from flanker Warburton, who recently spent two months on the sidelines with a shoulder problem.
Jamie Roberts returns at centre after missing last year's November Tests due to injury, with the Rhys Priestland edging out Dan Biggar at first five-eighth.
