Wales Men and Women to Face Barbarians in Twickenham Double-Header on June 27

The fixtures are positioned as key preparation for Wales’ July Nations Championship campaign.

Overview

  • The men’s match is scheduled for 14:00 BST with the women to follow at 17:00 at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium.
  • The day is expected to be uncapped and is treated as an away outing for Wales because Principality Stadium hosts unrelated summer events.
  • Wales men view the game as a tune-up for July tests against Fiji, Argentina and South Africa, with the Springboks clash confirmed for Durban on 18 July.
  • The double-header falls a week after both the URC final and the Gallagher Premiership final, which are also set for Twickenham.
  • Barbarians officials say the event will showcase their trademark flair and feature world-class talent, including stars from the English PWR league in the women’s fixture.
