Wales confirm 2022 Autumn Nations Series fixtures

Wales begin their 2022/23 season on Saturday 5th November against the All Blacks in what will be the 37th meeting between the two sides.

Los Pumas return to Cardiff on Saturday 12th November, back after two visits to Principality Stadium last July. With more fans able to watch the action this time around following capped attendances in 2021 due to Covid.

The third round of the series sees Georgia return to the Welsh capital on Saturday 19th November for the first time since 2017, after the last meeting between the two sides was moved to Parc y Scarlets when the Principality Stadium became a field hospital in 2020.

This fixture has entertained Welsh crowds on three previous occasions in total and the home side will enter the Test knowing they’ve won each prior meeting, including at Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan.

The final match and climax of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series sees Wales and Australia compete for the James Bevan trophy. Wales will want to hold on to their winning streak and secure a record fourth consecutive win against the Wallabies, on Saturday 26th November.

“Wayne Pivac and his Wales squad will relish the opportunity to get back out on the pitch after a tough Six Nations tournament,” said WRU CEO Steve Phillips.

“In international rugby you always want to test yourselves against the best teams and we will be facing each of the very best sides in the world in the year ahead.

“With a three-Test tour of South Africa preceding the 2022 Autumn Nations Series, we will be taking on the full set of Rugby Championship opposition..."
