Uncapped Dragons winger Rio Dyer faces a baptism of fire after being named in the Wales team to play New Zealand at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday. "Rio has fitted in really well and really quickly.
He's thriving in this environment," Wales coach Wayne Pivac said Thursday. "He's a young man that's bringing some form with him into camp.
He scored some great tries and he's full of confidence. "That means a lot to a young guy playing his first Test match in front of a big crowd.
There's no better way to start your career so we wish him well." Justin Tipuric will skipper the side from blindside flanker, returning to the Wales XV for the first time since the 2021 Six Nations match against France.
