Ryan Jones has been ruled out of Wales' final World Cup warm-up game against Argentina in Cardiff on Saturday.

The number eight, who was due to captain Wales for a record-equalling 28th time, has had a calf problem and will not be risked ahead of the World Cup next month.

Jones is replaced by Sale Sharks forward Andy Powell, with Jonathan Thomas moving on to the bench.

Flanker Martyn Williams, who wins his 99th cap this weekend, will skipper the side.
