Wales’s 2022 has certainly been one of lows and highs. Heading into this year’s edition of the Six Nations, Wayne Pivac’s team were champions - but by March they were fifth-best and ended the tournament with a dramatic last-minute loss to Italy in Cardiff.

Fast forward to the summer and Wales would lose a Test match series to South Africa, but did beat the world champions 12-13 in the second game. Without fly-half Dan Biggar, back-row forward Justin Tipuric has been handed the captaincy.

There is a look to the future in Pivac’s selections, as the promising Christ Tshiunza is included in the squad, while Louis Rees-Zammit will feature on the wing and Leicester Tigers' Tommy Reffell will be hoping to add to his already promising international career.

Ian Foster’s New Zealand got their end-of-year Tests underway last Saturday in Tokyo. Beating Japan 38-31, while a win, did cost the All Blacks. Their captain, Sam Cane, and experienced hooker Dane Coles have both been forced to go home after sustaining injuries, while lock forward Brodie Retallick has been banned for two games for his red card in that game.

In spite of those drawbacks, in Cardiff this weekend you should fully expect the three-time World Cup winning nation to be the favourites against Wales. Part of the reason is because the All Blacks have simply spent more time together in the run up, plus the fact that Wales haven’t beaten their southern hemisphere opposition since 1953.
