Former Fiji Airways men’s 7s and incoming Wales coach Wayne Pivac says it would be fantastic if his first trip is to his native country New Zealand in 2020.

Wales are planning a three -Test tour to face the All Blacks, less than a year after Pivac has officially taken over from fellow New Zealander Warren Gatland following the 2019 World Cup.

Wales last visited New Zealand in 2016 when they lost 3-0.

Pivac’s first game as Wales coach will be against the Barbarians, just weeks after the conclusion of next year’s World Cup in Japan.
