The Welsh Rugby Union has confirmed details of an autumn series of internationals at the Millennium Stadium in 2012 which will feature a clash against the current world champions, New Zealand.
Warren Gatland’s Grand Slam winning side will face Argentina, Samoa, the All Blacks and Australia during November and early December. The series includes three Saturday kick-offs while the game against Samoa will be a Friday evening fixture.
Waleswill play Argentina on November 10 (KO 2.30pm), Samoa on Friday November 16 (KO 7.30pm), New Zealand on November 24 (KO 5.15pm) and Australia on December 1 (KO 2.30pm).
The autumn series is now a massive attraction for rugby fans in Wales as the fixtures regularly attract top class international opposition.
WRU Group Chief Executive, Roger Lewis, said: “I am delighted we are able to announce such an excellent series of games for this autumn. Warren Gatland has always said we will only get better by playing the best and this autumn we have certainly met his challenge and lived up to his expectations.
“New Zealand are worthy world champions while facing Australia will be a prelude to the next summer’s British and Irish Lions tour so those games are absolutely compelling.
“Argentina are great crowd favourites and tough opposition wherever they play and whoever they face while Samoa are quite literally one of the most powerful rugby teams around.
“Our current Welsh team plays a brand of compelling and engaging rugby which delights our fans and I am confident the series we have on offer will prove to be a great attraction.”
