GETHIN Jenkins – who wins his 100th cap for Wales this afternoon – has revealed he would love to represent his country at the 2015 World Cup.

The tighthead prop becomes Wales’ joint second most capped player today when he emulates the achievements of Gareth Thomas and Martyn Williams in reaching his century.

The Cardiff Blues star still has to win four more before drawing equal with Stephen Jones in first place, but Jenkins, who turns 33 tomorrow, and has no intention of hanging his boots up just yet.

Speaking ahead of today’s clash with Argentina, Jenkins joked about how long he intended to keep playing at the top when prompted, the three-times Grand Slam winner replying to the question: "That's it. I am retired after Saturday!”

He then added: "I get asked this quite a bit. You never know. It is such a physical sport these days and I just take one game at a time and concentrate on that performance.”

He added: "There is no greater feeling than running out on Saturday in front of all those supporters at the Millennium Stadium. That’s the big buzz, and that is probably the biggest thing you are going to miss when you finish.”

When he was asked if he had set any target, Jenkins, selected to tour with the British and Irish Lions in 2005, 2009 and 2013, said: "In the back of my mind, hopefully the World Cup in 2015. It's a long way away, and there are a lot of games before then so I suppose it is a case of getting through each week and see how we go.”

In a glittering career, Jenkins has achieved so much, including a Heineken Cup medal after his former club Toulon won last season’s tournament by beating French rivals 16-15 Clermont Auvergne in the final.

First capped as a 21-year-old against Romania at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground during November 2002’s 40-3 victory, his favourite Wales moment was his country’s 2005 Grand Slam-winning triumph over Ireland.

Jenkins charged down opposition fly-half Ronan O’Gara’s attempted clearance kick in the 16th minute before dribbling the ball from 25 metres out and crashing over the try-line to send the Millennium Stadium crowd wild with delight.

There was no looking back after that and coach Mike Ruddock’s men secured their first clean sweep in Europe for 27 years, Wales winning 32-20.

“(My favourite moment) was probably the Grand Slam game of 2005 – just for the simple fact I scored a try! I don’t score that often.”
