Wales face New Zealand in Cardiff

In what is one of the more interesting international rugby matches of the southern-hemisphere's winter tour, Wales take on the All Blacks at the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff on the 7th of November. Wales will be hoping to bounce back after a rather disappointing Six Nations Campaign, and New Zealand will provide a tough test, as always.

This is a sold out match and the atmosphere is likely to be electric, as it was in the corresponding fixture last year which New Zealand won 9-29.



If you are looking for a hotel in Cardiff, the Village venue is an excellent option.
