Wales’ decades-old quest for a win against the All Blacks continues in Cardiff.
Wales v New Zealand as the men in red try (yet again) to end a losing streak against the All Blacks that stretches back to 1953.
Few are expecting that run to end today, even though Wales beat Japan last weekend and are much improved under head coach Steve Tandy. Despite a busy 2026 in which July’s Nations Championship fixtures were followed by a tour of South Africa and the annual Bledisloe Cup two-header against Australia, the All Blacks were formidable against Scotland last time out – so much so that a Wales win would rank among the biggest shocks in rugby history.
The match gets underway at 2.10pm GMT in Cardiff. The good news is that you can watch Wales v All Blacks live streams for free in the UK, Ireland, France and the US – so read on to find out how you can use a VPN to tune in wherever you are in the world.
