Wales men and women face Barbarians in Twickenham double-header

Wales' men and women teams are set to compete against the Barbarians at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham on Saturday. Both teams are aiming for morale-boosting victories following a challenging 2025-26 season that saw them secure only three wins in 19 matches. Welsh men, under coach Steve Tandy, are treating the game as a Test match despite missing 13 players due to club commitments. The women's team, coached by Sean Lynn, looks to secure their second win since his appointment in 2025. The match provides an opportunity for several uncapped players to impress before upcoming tests against stronger international sides, including Fiji and South Africa, over the next month.
