The first match at the Allianz Stadium sees Steve Tandy’s men take on the Baa-Baas in preparation for the start of the Rugby Nations Championship – the new 12-team tournament that begins at the start of July.

Wales legend George North is on the bench for Barbarians, in what will be his final professional match, with South Africa scrum-half Faf de Klerk and Welsh hooker Elliott Dee among his teammates this weekend.

In the later game, Wales’ women take on the Baa-Baas with a youthful team, which includes five debutants and 11 players under the age of 22.
