It will be a celebration of more than just rugby when a capacity crowd returns to Principality Stadium for the first time since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic to watch the All Blacks and Wales renew their long-standing rivalry.

A capacity crowd of 74,500 will be on hand to witness the 36th clash between the two teams, and the first in Cardiff since the All Blacks 33-18 win in 2017.

All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick says the team was excited to play in one of rugby’s grandest stages.

The All Blacks meet Wales at 4.15am tomorrow.

In another international Test match, Tonga will play Scotland at 1.30am tomorrow.
