Wales’ men’s and women’s rugby teams are set to take on the Barbarians in a double-header event at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, on June 27th. The men’s match will kick off first, followed by the women’s game. Both fixtures are anticipated to be uncapped.
This event is deemed an away game for Wales, as the Barbarians will be considered the “home side,” with the Principality Stadium hosting other non-rugby events during the summer. The last encounter between Wales’ men and the Barbarians took place in November 2023 in Cardiff, where Wales emerged victorious with a score of 49-26 in another uncapped match characterized by 11 tries.
The upcoming match at Allianz will serve as a crucial part of the Welsh men’s preparations for the inaugural Nations Championship, where they are scheduled to compete against top southern hemisphere teams such as Fiji, Argentina, and South Africa over consecutive weekends in July. This provides a vital opportunity for the Welsh teams to refine their skills and strategies ahead of a challenging tournament.
