Wales Skipper Alun Wyn Jones says side are not ‘focusing on records’

ALUN WYN JONES says that Wales are not “hanging our hats” on records heading into tonight’s Six Nations opener against France.

But Wales captain Jones also acknowledges the importance of momentum as his team look to extend an unbeaten record that stretches back to last season’s tournament.
