Wales announce autumn international fixtures: Dates and ticket prices as All Blacks and Wallabies return to Cardiff

Wales' 2022 autumn internationals have been confirmed with New Zealand, Australia, Argentina and Georgia coming to the Welsh capital later this year.

Wayne Pivac's side will kick their campaign off with a daunting opening fixture against the All Blacks on November 5, hoping to claim a victory for the first time since 1953. The last time the two sides met was last year when Wales lost 54-16.
