W<\/span><\/b>ales\u2019 2022 Autumn Nations Series tickets go on public sale for the first time tomorrow, with every seat at Principality Stadium available at half price for under 17s across all four matches. <\/span>
\nWayne Pivac\u2019s senior men\u2019s squad will return from a three-Test summer tour of South Africa to face New Zealand, Argentina, Georgia and then Australia on consecutive Saturdays in November. <\/span>
\nAnd the opportunity to take a top southern hemisphere scalp, or more, whilst also facing two future Rugby World Cup Pool C opponents, in Georgia and Australia, is relished by the head coach. <\/span>
\n\u201cWe have another big campaign ahead this Autumn Nations Series with four home fixtures following our three-Test Series in South Africa this summer.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/i>said Pivac. <\/i><\/span>
\n\u201cHaving fans back at Principality Stadium has been massive for the squad and we can\u2019t wait for them to get behind us again in force this November.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\nThe Autumn Nations Series kicks off at 3.15pm on Saturday 5th November against the All Blacks in the 37th meeting between the two sides. The Pumas, always a team by which Wales sides measure themselves, are next up the following Saturday at 5.30pm, before World Cup rivals Georgia arrive in Cardiff a week later (1.00pm) and then \u2013 on the final weekend in November \u2013 the Wallabies help bring the autumn campaign to a climactic close (3.15pm).
\n\u201cIt\u2019s always exciting when New Zealand come to town – they are consistently one of the best teams in the world,\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/i>added Pivac. <\/i><\/b><\/span>
\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to being able to test ourselves against them with our English-based players available and the opportunity to make our own bit of history<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/b><\/i>
\n\u201cWe are also looking forward to taking on Argentina again in front of a home crowd, although the conditions this time out should be quite different to their visit to Principality Stadium last summer. <\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n\u201cFor our final two matches we play Georgia and Australia who are both in our pool for Rugby World Cup 2023. They each present different challenges for us and these games will be really important preparation as the countdown to the tournament in France continues.<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/i><\/b>
\nTickets, which go on public sale for the first time tomorrow Friday 10th June from 10am, remain frozen in all price categories for the Georgia, Argentina and Australia matches in 2022 with admission prices for these and equivalent Autumn Nations Series matches having not risen since 2018.
\nThis year the All Blacks fixture does carry a price increase of \u00a310 for most tickets but the entry level price for this match is also frozen, at \u00a340, and concessionary tickets for supporters under 17-years-old – which carry a 50% discount – remain available in all price categories for all Autumn Nations Series games.
\nThe discounted prices mean a family of four could attend the Georgia game for \u00a330, the Pumas game for \u00a360, watch the Wallabies for \u00a375 or see the series\u00a0 kick-off against the All Blacks as a family for \u00a3120.
\nThe Welsh Rugby Union always recommends the best place to buy international tickets is from your local rugby club, but remaining tickets will be posted on public sale for the first time tomorrow, from www.wales\/tickets with all proceeds received fed back into the game in Wales.<\/p>\n

THE 2022 AUTUMN NATIONS SERIES LINEUP: <\/b><\/p>\n

New Zealand:<\/b> It\u2019s never long before someone mentions 1953, the last Welsh victory in the fixture, in the build-up to this titanic clash of two of the most famous names in world rugby.
\nBut no reference to this biggest-of-games should skip past three seismic clashes in the mid and late 2000s.
\nFirst, in 2004, Wales came closest, in recent times, to historic victory when they were pipped 25-26.
\nNext, in 2008, an entertaining juggernaut of a match followed the spine-tingling \u2018Haka stand-off\u2019 \u2013 a moment now famous around the globe for the sheer drama it created.
\nThese are always hugely entertaining games and, in 2009, after going in level at the break (6-6) Wales were still within a converted try of New Zealand\u2019s total in the closing moments, when none other than Alun Wyn Jones intercepted a pass and broke clear\u2026 It\u2019s no spoiler to confirm the Wales talisman and his \u201909 teammates eventually came up short.
\nThis is just a selection of the many games in the great history of a fixture which dates back to the inaugural match in 1905. This first meeting was won 3-0 by Wales and the occasion also saw the first rendition of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau at an international match \u2013 sung by the players in response to New Zealand\u2019s famous Haka. <\/strong>
\nWales have always dared to believe and although have only finished on the winning side on three occasions (1905, 1935 and 1953) they have been within touching distance of a famous win many more times across 36 contests.
\nThe longer the present win record stands for our distinguished opposition, the greater the taste of victory will be when it is broken.
\n
\nArgentina: <\/b>This fixture has a fascinating history dating back 31 years to a Rugby World Cup win for the host side, which featured current WRU vice-chair Ieuan Evans on the wing, at the national stadium in Cardiff in 1991.
\nOn many occasions, when Wales beat the Pumas, they have gone on to achieve great things.
\nThe first Six Nations Grand Slam of modern times (2005) followed a two-Test tour to Argentina the previous summer. Honours were split with a win going to each side but, crucially, Wales won the last of the two Tests 20-35.\u00a0 In 2008 the slam was repeated and, again, victory over the Pumas (20-27) the previous summer in a warm-up match ahead of the Rugby World Cup \u2013 albeit under a previous regime – had been a highlight.
\nIn 2011 Argentina again provided warm-up opposition before Wales headed out to the World Cup in New Zealand and whilst a 28-13 win over the Pumas didn\u2019t ultimately mean lifting the Webb Ellis Cup, Wales did reach the semi-finals and it was followed by yet another slam in 2012.
\nThe Grand Slam in 2019 was hot off the back of a successful two-Test tour to Argentina the preceding summer, when both matches were taken by the visitors, 10-23 and 12-30.
\nSuccess against the Pumas could be seen as a yardstick for Wales\u2019 chances of success in future months but there are caveats.
\nBoth Six Nations Championship titles won without slams \u2013 in 2013 and last season, 2021 (under Wayne Pivac) – followed losses to Argentina in preceding matches and the less we say about what followed Wales\u2019 victory over the Pumas in the 1991 World Cup the better.
\nIn all the sides have met 20-times, with Wales having won thirteen of those games, the Pumas six and the honours shared once.
\nIn the last three meetings we have seen the full set of results, a win for Wales in summer 2018 and that 20-20 draw in the summer of 2021, followed by a 33-11 victory to the Pumas.
\nThis match, against opposition just one spot above us in the World Rugby rankings, is set to be an exciting encounter.<\/p>\n

Georgia:<\/b> Wales\u2019 future Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool C opponents visit Principality Stadium for only the second time this November, after making their debut in 2017.
\nIn that first meeting of the two sides a fresh-faced Wales side was captained for the first time by Dan Lydiate, with the back row boasting more caps to his name (60 at the time) than the rest of the pack between them.
\nWales won 13-6 but the victory was described as hard-fought and the toughness of the opposition would be a recurring theme for this fixture.
\nWales launched their Rugby World Cup campaign in 2019 with a bonus point scoring 43-14 win at City of Toyota Stadium in Japan, but this game was seen from the outset as a potential banana skin and the same concentration levels will be required this autumn in Cardiff if the home side are to win in style.
\nIn their most recent encounter Wales beat Georgia 18-0 at Parc y Scarlets during the Autumn Nations Cup tournament in 2020.
\nA young Scarlets scrum-half by the name of Keiran Hardy (now on 11 caps) made his debut that day and helped maintain Wales\u2019 100% record winning record against the Lelos.
\nWayne Pivac\u2019s Wales will be looking to increase those impressive stats to four wins in four in Cardiff this autumn.<\/p>\n

Australia:<\/b> The final match and climax of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series sees Wales host <\/b>the Wallabies, with the James Bevan trophy once again up for grabs.
\nUntil 2018 the team in red had notched up just two wins this century against the Wallabies (2005, 2008), but the latest stats say Wales are on a roll. Winning the last three clashes \u2013 two wins in autumn matches in Cardiff either side of the 29-25 thriller at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
\nThese matches are close.\u00a0 None more so than last time out in November 2021 when Wales sealed a 29-28 minute victory with an 81st minute penalty. In fact the first game – 44 matches and around 114 years ago \u2013 set the tone for the whole series with a close fought 9-6 win for Wales.
\nBevan, who has been immortalised by the trophy that bears his name since 2007 was the Melbourne-born, Welsh-raised player who captained the inaugural Wales international side, against England in 1881.
\nIt took Wales just one more attempt to win the newly established trophy, after the Wallabies lifted it for the first time in the summer of \u201907, and they did so in style in an autumn clash in 2008.
\nThis was a first scalp over a Tri-Nations side in 11 games as the \u201908 Six Nations Grand Slam winners beat Australia in a thrilling match in Cardiff.
\nNewly crowned World player of the year Shane Williams was one of the scorers as the hosts claimed only their third success \u2013 at the time – over one of the southern hemisphere’s “big three” since rugby turned professional in 1995.
\nThe Wallabies would go on to put together a thirteen-match winning streak over the following decade until 2018 when Wales were once again victors.
\nNow it is Wales looking secure their own record fourth consecutive win against the Wallabies, on Saturday 26th November in 2022 Autumn Nations Series climax.<\/p>\n
