Wales will look to end their 68-year wait for a victory over New Zealand when they face the All Blacks this evening in the Autumn Internationals.

Wayne Pivac’s side welcome New Zealand to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff for the first time since 2017, although the All Blacks defeated Wales in the bronze medal match at the Rugby World Cup in 2019. Including those matches, New Zealand have won 31 successive matches over today’s opponents, with Wales last tasting victory in this famous fixture back in 1953.

Regardless of the result, history will be made this afternoon as captain Alun Wyn Jones wins his 149th Wales cap, overtaking All Blacks legend Ritchie McCaw’s total for one country.

What’s the team news?

Wales have been hit by a number of absences, with some due to injury and others because the hosts do not have access to their contingent of players who are based in England.

The injury list includes a slew of established stars such as George North, Leigh Halfpenny, Ken Owens, Josh Navidi, Justin Tipuric, Dan Lydiate, Liam Williams and Ellis Jenkins, while Dan Biggar, Taulupe Faletau Louis Rees-Zammit and Callum Sheedy are some of those who are also unavailable as they have not yet been released by their Premiership clubs.

New Zealand, by contrast, have been able to name what is close to a full-strength side.
