Wales kick off their autumn campaign and a new era under Steve Tandy today when they face Argentina in Cardiff.
It is the curtain-raiser to a daunting yet exciting month for Wales players and the new coaching staff, headed up by former Ospreys, Lions and Scotland coach Tandy.
After the Pumas arrive at the Principality Stadium, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa all visit the Welsh capital in what will be a vital run of games for Tandy and indeed Wales’ world ranking standing, with the Rugby World Cup draw taking place next month.
First, though, all eyes will be on a stiff test against the South Americans on home soil.
Tandy has named his side, with Rhys Carre straight back into the mix and Louis Rees-Zammit named among the replacements.
Can Wales build on their second-Test win over Japan in the summer?
