Wales vs New Zealand

Date: Saturday 30th October 2021

Venue: Principality Stadium, Cardiff

Kick-off: 5:15pm

Wales' autumn clash against New Zealand has sold out.

The clash with the All Blacks will be the first time the Principality Stadium will be able to host a capacity crowd and it's now been confirmed that all available tickets have been purchased for the autumn curtain-raiser on October 30th.

There are still tickets available for Wales' remaining autumn fixtures - with Wayne Pivac's Six Nations champions taking on South Africa, Fiji and Australia throughout November.

The clash with New Zealand outside of the Test window is something of a necessary evil in Welsh rugby - as its placement in the calendar means Pivac is without his English-based stars for the match.

However, the guaranteed pull of the All Blacks - as demonstrated by this match already having sold out - is exactly why the Welsh Rugby Union feels the need to arrange an extra autumn international despite the fact that Wales will be weakened.

“We have made half-price concessionary tickets for under 17s available across all categories for all four matches for the first time,” said a WRU ticket office spokesperson about the news.

“This has appealed to a younger audience and more families as well as our normal event goers and rugby aficionados.

“This will partly account for the high demand for tickets across all four matches, but we are incredibly pleased with the response from Welsh supporters.

Nobody knew what to expect after the year and a half we have all had, but we are delighted to be able to say that the appetite for Welsh rugby, and of course the All Blacks, is as strong as it has ever been.

“We are all looking forward to a month of celebration at Principality Stadium and we are ready to welcome supporters back safely and securely.

“New challenges will be presented and we will follow Welsh Government and Public Health Wales advice closely ensuring all of the appropriate safety precautions are in place.

“We will worry about these elements so supporters don’t have to and, of course, we have a full refund policy in place so fans can be safe in the knowledge that their money is safe if personal or national circumstances change due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.”

The All Blacks vs Wales Rugby 2021 stadium will be operating staggered entry time. Tickets holders will be alerted to their required entry time and gate number on their ticket closer to game.

Supporters who have successfully purchased tickets are encouraged to download the Principality Stadium ticketing app to be able to receive their digital tickets for the autumn fixtures.

Wales organised All Blacks game for when top players unavailable

Wales will be attempting to beat the Kiwis for the first time since Bleddyn Williams, Cliff Morgan, Ken Jones, Clem Thomas and Co got the job done in 1953. All Blacks vs Wales rugby

England international Chris Ashton has questioned the decision that will see Wales face New Zealand later this month without some of their best players.

The match on October 30 is outside the autumn Test window, meaning Wayne Pivac will be denied the services of his England-based personnel, with no Welsh player-release arrangement in place with Gallagher Premiership clubs.

Lions Dan Biggar, Louis Rees-Zammit and Taulupe Faletau are thus all off limits to Wales’ head coach.

Callum Sheedy, Nick Tompkins and Ioan Lloyd are also unavailable for the same reason.

The situation has perplexed 44-cap England flyer Ashton, who now plays for Worcester Warriors.

Speaking on the BBC Radio 5 Live Rugby Union Weekly Podcast, the much-travelled wide-man said of the call for Wales to face the number one team in the global rankings beyond the three-week period set aside for November Tests: “Who’s organising to play the best team in the world when you can’t have all your players free?

Wales haven’t beaten the All Blacks since 1953 and being without the likes of Biggar, Faletau and Rees-Zammit will make the challenge that much harder for the class of 2021.

But after seeing Welsh rugby take such a major financial hit during the pandemic, the Welsh Rugby Union would doubtless argue they have to do what it takes to get the tills ringing again.

And that will happen for the game against New Zealand.

With the match already a sell-out, ticket-sales alone are expected to gross £6million. There will also be rich pickings extending into seven figures from TV arrangements, sponsorship, corporate hospitality and merchandise.

On the podcast, Ashton and fellow England cap Danny Care also discussed the return to action of Gareth Anscombe after more than two years out and the prospect of the 30-year-old facing the All Blacks.

Care called the Osprey’s comeback display in his first proper game in 25 months “incredible” and noted that Biggar and Sheedy would be missing for the date with the Kiwis, adding: “This will be a great opportunity for Gareth Anscombe to get back in that Wales No. 10 shirt, the shirt that was his pre-injury, and hopefully show the world what he can do again.

“It was a horrific injury that came at a really bad time for him.

“But he inspired the Ospreys to beat the Dragons.”

Ashton commented on how difficult the challenge was for players out of the game for just nine months, let alone the length of time Anscombe had spent on the sidelines. All Blacks vs Wales live rugby

“You see how hard it is for them to keep turning up every day, doing rehab, doing physio, training on their own. To do that for more than 750 days and come back and play as he did — fair play to him.”

Wales also play South Africa, Fiji and Australia this autumn.

Sport has the power to ignite conversations with the power to change. Nice seeing them cry, it's great knowing it's okay to be an All Black and cry and show the nation if you're sad... it's a good release for your system.On Thursday, Hansen spoke about the importance of speaking out if you are struggling mentally after a tough week in camp with the All Blacks. It is a massive problem in New Zealand he said. Our biggest problem is that we don't give those people that are struggling, permission to say they're struggling.They think they have to hide it. As a result, it bottles up, bottles up and bottles up and then it's like a volcano; when it gets too hot, it blows.Our job as parents, as work colleagues, is to support people. First of all, you've got to know they need the support and, to know that, you've got to know your people. And then you've got to allow them to be vulnerable. And it takes a lot to be vulnerable. So giving them permission, I think, is the key. And then letting them just be vulnerable.It's no different in sport, families or work; we've got to do it better than we're doing.However The AM Show host Mark Richardson has different views. The AM Show was asking viewers how often they cried, and Richardson unleashed with how the public has reacted to the All Blacks' defeat. Just on this, and the motivation for this and the All Blacks, and the drama, and the tears ... just get over yourselves, honestly. All you've done is lost a semi-final in the Rugby World Cup against a bloody good side, in England, he said. This is not a national tragedy. Yes you're going to be disappointed if you're one of the players. And yes, I know how it feels, you'll shed a tear but for God's sake we don't need to hear about it.The All Blacks will face Wales on Friday night in the playoff for third, in what will be Hansen's last match in charge and Kieran Read's last as captain. Warren Gatland and Steve Hansen bring their respective tenures at Wales and New Zealand to a close, with both leaving a positive lasting legacy on the nations they coached.

It was New Zealand who clinched the bronze medal in Tokyo, but Wales can look back on a successful 12 years under Gatland that saw four Six Nations, three Grand Slams, the world number one spot and two World Cup semi-finals.Time for some of the All Black greats to enjoy a moment with their team-mates and families before bowing out of the international game, captain Kieran Read and Sonny Bill Williams.A lot of the players have only ever known Warren, the new era begins now. Everyone is looking forward to that but has to pay their respects to Gats for what he's done for us as a team and a country. He's been a great asset for Welsh rugby.The scoreline probably didn't reflect that. We had nothing to lose, we wanted to throw the ball about and show an intention to go out with a bang.Immensely proud to see a crowd like this, awesome to pull on the jersey. The guys appreciate what it means to be an All Black, I love it It was important we came back and honoured the jersey and the fans and get over the disappointment of last week.

The All Blacks bid farewell to coach Steve Hansen and captain Kieran Read with a 40-17 victory over Wales at Tokyo Stadium, claiming the one World Cup prize that no team sets out to win - third place.

Winger Ben Smith grabbed a brace of tries and Joe Moody, Beauden Barrett, Ryan Crotty and Richie Mo'unga also crossed as New Zealand rebounded from their semi-final loss to England and extended their 66-year winning streak over Wales to 31 tests on Friday.

Both teams came to play and Wales, also saying farewell to coach Warren Gatland, ran the ball at every opportunity to score tries through fullback Hallam Amos and Josh Adams - a Welsh record seventh of the tournament for the winger.

"It was just important we came back and honoured the jersey and the fans and put that one last week behind us," said Hansen.
