The All Blacks kick-start a four match series which sees the world's third and sixth best sides, Australia and Argentina respectively, take on a Warren Gatland Wales team set to be peppered with returning Lions hot on the back their final Test series victory over South Africa this summer.

"The take-up for tickets through our club priority system and through pre-registration for the public has meant, for the second season in a row, we are able to announce a sell out months in advance," said WRU group head of marketing Gwyn Dolphin.

"This shows that the appetite is there in Wales for more top class rugby, hot of the back of a Lions victory which saw many of our star players and coaches excell themselves and fans are hungry for more.

"Warren Gatland will be looking to meet the Southern Hemisphere superpowers head on, but both Argentina and Samoa will also relish the challenge of coming to Wales, so it all adds up to the prospect of another exciting series at the Millennium Stadium this autumn."
