It also marks Wales head coach Wayne Pivac’s first match against his home country since taking the job two years ago.

A match against the All Blacks is a tough test at the best of times, but this time around Pivac is missing an incredible FIFTEEEN players.

As the fixture is taking place outside the international window, players based in England have been released.

That means the likes of Dan Biggar, Louis Rees-Zammit and Taulupe Faletau head a long injury list.

Wales have not beaten New Zealand since 1953, but prop Tomas Francis said the fixture’s one-sided head-to-head stats are not playing on the Dragons’ players’ minds.

He commented: “No, I don’t think so. People used to say that about Australia and then we beat them twice, so I don’t think there is a hoodoo over it.

“New Zealand are a very tough team.

“You have to perform to the best of your ability to be in the game.

“You always want to challenge yourself against the best and New Zealand have always been up there since I was a kid as the best team.”
