Head coach Wayne Pivac has named his Wales team to play New Zealand in their Autumn Nations Series opener in Cardiff.
There will be a debut for Rio Dyer and the return of Leigh Halfpenny, Ken Owens and Justin Tipuric!

The All Blacks have revealed the Principality Stadium roof will be closed for Saturday’s game against Wales. It was open for last year’s meeting between the two sides in Cardiff due to Covid restrictions. But now the match will be played “indoors” on Saturday when the forecast is for rain.
