| The 124th player to captain Wales, and the 18th from Llanelli, Peel is the first No 9 to wear the captain's arm band since Rob Howley bowed out at the end of the 1999 World Cup.
Peel will be winning his 56th cap in Nantes, moving him into 10th place on his own in the Wales all-time appearance list. He will then be a mere three appearances away from matching Rob Howley as Wales's most capped scrum half with 59 caps.
