WALES host New Zealand and are aiming to beat them for the first time in 69 long years.
The All Blacks have won every single match since Queen Elizabeth II was just one year into her seven-decade reign and now Wayne Pivac's side are looking to change history.
Wales will then face Argentina, Georgia and Australia to top off the autumn internationals while the All Blacks have already defeated Japan and will now take on Wales, Scotland and England in November.

All Blacks looking to turn tide
It has been a year of peaks and troughs for New Zealand having won the rugby championship.
They beat Ireland 42-19 in the first test of their three-match test series but then went on to lose the following two and series itself.
Ian Foster’s side then registered their first ever home defeat to Argentina.
