WALES great Neil Jenkins (pictured) promises there will be no tears when he steps out in a Wales jersey for the 100th and last time at the Millennium Stadium tomorrow.

The record-breaking fly half is sure of a terrific reception when he takes the field in the second half against a star-studded Barbarians.

But he said: "I've always played with a smile on my face and that's what I'll wear on Saturday. I've loved every minute and there are no regrets."

Jenkins, despite having his critics, holds the world Test points record of 1,049 while he is the sixth highest - capped player of all time with 87 for his country.

But his total appearances in a Wales jersey is 99 and he said: "It would have been terrible to be stuck on 99 and I'm thankful to Steve (Hansen) and the guys for giving me this opportunity to get to the 100."

Asked about the highlights of his career, he said: "Just representing your country is pretty special, but I suppose two England games come to mind, the one at Cardiff in 1993 and the one at Wembley in 1999 with Scott Gibbs' amazing try in their own backyard.

"I was also in the championship-winning side of 1994 and played in two World Cups while playing for and winning with the Lions is not something you get to do every day. And of course there was the historic win over South Africa when we made history."

Jenkins once kicked nine penalty goals in a win over France while he has been in three Welsh championship winning teams with Pontypridd and Cardiff and a Principality Cup-winning side.

"I've been very lucky. I've had a great career and have been pretty much injury free up until the last two seasons," he continued. "And it's great to go out against the Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium.

"I just hope I don't go on too early in the game," he joked. "It's going to be hot and fast and I will have played for Ponty the night before, so I'll be happy to have just a few minutes. But it'll be nice to be out on the pitch one more time in a red shirt.

"It only seems like yesterday I was starting out as a 19-year-old. My father (who with Jenkins' wife and daughter will be at the game) said 'don't blink or you'll miss it,' and he was dead right.

"But if I had been offered then the career I've had I'd have bitten your hand off."

Jenkins did admit "It is a disappointment not to have won a European competition, and it would have been nice to have won a Grand Slam.

"But we managed to win the Five Nations crown in 1994 so that makes up for it a touch."

However, he added with a grin: "There's always next season. We (the combined Bridgend-Pontypridd side) might win the European Cup."

Of Saturday's game, he said: "It is a big match. The Barbarians are a talented side. They proved that against England and Scotland. We've had a tough international season and a tough Six Nations and we need a win and to produce a good performance, so hopefully we'll get that on Saturday."
