This is also the beginning of a two-year journey to the 2023 World Cup in France. Wales have two great fly-halves to choose between against New Zealand - Stephen Jones In ways we have progressed but there are still things we need to address.' 'We won a Championship and missed out on a Grand Slam. 'We are still aware of our last autumn which is disappointing. 'When change happens you don't get the click of the fingers and it happens automatically,' added Jones. The crowd will be cheering on the reigning Six Nations champions after Pivac celebrated silverware after a poor 2020 autumn campaign.

'We're all relishing seeing the fans and getting back to semi-normality with a full house.' I know what it's like, but there are a few guys who haven't played in the Principality with a crowd of that magnitude. 'To have the fans back is going to be special for a lot of us. 'At the start of lockdown and in the last 18 months to two years, we didn't see the forecast of what it was going to be.

'I've been involved in a few games there and they are always special occasions,' added Jones. Jones is also hoping a first Principality Stadium capacity crowd since February 2020 can help. I've tried on many occasions, and will again, but I feel we've got a squad that can go out there and present something we haven't presented before.' If we get that right, we will be in a decent position. 'The odds are stacked against us but our focus is the performance. 'We are aware of the history of the fixture, the succession of quality players they have always had. 'There are a lot of external things going on at the moment that are distractions, so it's been nice to focus on rugby and you probably don't get bogged down with those sorts of. 'It's one of those things, a lot of guys probably haven't played against New Zealand. 'I am aware of the stats and the records,' added Jones. Wales have not beaten New Zealand since 1953 with Jones facing the All Blacks in a Welsh shirt for a 13th time. Wales v New Zealand: Wales head coach Wayne Pivac defends All Blacks fixture The fact he has capped so many players in autumns and summers in particular means he is setting his scene with player availability and the number at his disposal.' 'Wayne has grabbed that bull by the horns. 'Wales are always questioned about strength in depth and having players in certain positions

'I'm sure the guys who can't be selected are disappointed but they'll want to make a huge impact when they come back for the following fixtures. When you get an opportunity to put the red jersey on, you'll take it. 'It's probably frustrating we can't have access to everybody but it is what it is.

It's outside the window, so that's a question for someone higher up the tree than myself. It's an opportunity for a lot of people to put their hand up and there's probably no bigger game to do it than the first one we have. 'We know how many players Wayne has capped and put into the melting pot. Ultimately, it's an opportunity for a lot of guys and they know there are going to be more players coming into the squad and back from injury in due course. 'That is always the same, particularly after the spell we have had over recent years. 'The pressure is always on when you play for Wales because of the level of expectation on us,' added Jones. Wales head coach Pivac is facing an injury crisis, with Josh Navidi, Justin Tipuric, George North, Dan Lydiate, James Botham and Leigh Halfpenny ruled out of the entire autumn series.Д¬ardiff flanker Ellis Jenkins and Liam Williams are doubtful to face New Zealand, while centre Halaholo was ruled out of facing the country of his birth after testing positive for Covid-19.Д®ngland-based players Dan Biggar, Callum Sheedy, Louis Rees-Zammit, Taulupe Faletau, Nick Tompkins, Thomas Young and Christ Tshiunza are unavailable to play against the All Blacks because the game falls outside World Rugby's international window.
