Wales boss Warren Gatland says that skipper Alun Wyn Jones is a player that "deserves all the accolades" as he prepares to equal his country's cap record.Jones will make a 129th Wales appearance in Monday's World Cup opener against Georgia, matching prop Gethin Jenkins' achievement."He has been absolutely outstanding," Gatland said of the 34-year-old. "He has got better with age - he's like a good wine."He deserves all the accolades. He has been a great servant to Welsh rugby. The pleasing thing for me is that recognition hasn't just been in Wales. It has been worldwide."People realise just what a contribution he has made to world rugby, both in his performances and leadership. It's pleasing to see someone from Wales recognised as one of the best players in his position."
