Welsh skipper Gareth Thomas will hit the century mark this weekend when he runs out for the 100th time for Wales.
It had been feared the 33-year-old might not reach the milestone, having suffered rib damage earlier in the tournament. He missed the Red Dragons' win over in Japan and had been in doubt for Saturday's Pool B clash with Fiji.
However, the 33-year-old, who made his debut in the 1995 World Cup, made it through his first full contact training session on Tuesday.
"This is a huge achievement for me and Saturday will be a very special moment. There have been many times throughout my career, and recently with the injury, when I never thought I would get another cap, let alone reach 100," said Thomas.
"But I knew that a positive attitude would help bring about a positive outcome and it has. Now I just want to get on with the job of helping Wales in such an important game and reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup."
