Wales has confirmed rugby’s top three, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, will all visit Millennium Stadium next November, with Fiji making up the quartet of the UK side’s autumn opponents.

Wales lost to South Africa and Australia during the recently completed 2013 autumn series, extending their miserable record against the trio of southern hemisphere powers to just one win from 23 games since Warren Gatland took charge.

The meeting with the Wallabies will provide Wales with another opportunity to beat their 2015 World Cup pool rivals.

The matches against New Zealand, Australia and Fiji will be part of the International Rugby Board (IRB) autumn window, with South Africa confirmed as the fourth game of the series.

The fixtures are subject to IRB approval.

“We have consistently said, if you want to be the best, you have to play the best and the 2014 autumn schedule reconfirms that commitment,” Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis said.

“We have just witnessed another exhilarating, tough autumn series and next year will be ideal preparation for the squad ahead of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

“We will only have 12 matches in total in the run-up to our opening game at the tournament, so we must secure every opportunity to test ourselves at the highest level.”
