The big challenge for the players today is to step up to that top level of international rugby, which we need with two of the best teams in the world coming here over the next two weeks.
Even though Welsh rugby has struggled and lacked ambition in the last few years, these are still the teams you want to test yourself against.
But New Zealand has always been that bridge too far for Wales and a lot of that is down to the fear factor that they bring.
This usually culminates into a 10 point lead before Wales have even woken up.

The band stop playing during Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau and leave
the Welsh crowd to do the rest.
It’s a special tribute to 1905 when the anthem was sung
in response to the Haka, which was followed by the All Blacks losing the only
game of their 35-match tour.

It's not only a big occasion for the players and coaches in Cardiff - referee Hollie Davidson makes history when becoming the first woman to take charge of an All Blacks game.
The Scottish official, who was in charge of the last two Women's Rugby World Cup finals, is chalking up another first.
In 2022 she was in charge of an all-women team of officials for the men's Test between Italy and Portugal.
Davidson was the first female assistant in a men's Six Nations match when England took on Wales in 2024.
The Scot refereed Portugal against Hong Kong earlier this month and now notches another achievement.
She will be assisted by Italy's Andrea Piardi and Gianluca Gnecchi.
Englishman Ian Tempest is the television match official (TMO), with Italian Matteo Liperiniin is in charge of the foul play review process (FPRO).
'We need our best players on the ball' - Hookpublished at 14:56 GMT 22 November 2025

James Hook Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales
We need to try and throw some punches against New Zealand today.
Against Japan last week we were a bit blunt in attack. I think that's why we've seen a lot of changes especially in the back line.
The centres last two weeks have struggled a little bit. These changes give us an opportunity to go forward more and try and get that front foot ball. We need our best players on the ball as much as we can.
But first of all that starts up front, we need to try and get that parity and then go forward.

Japan and Georgia kicked off another weekend of fascinating international rugby with a cracker.
The Brave Blossoms lost to Wales with the last kick last week but turned the tables to edge out the Lelos 25-23 in Tbilisi.
Arguably the most mouth-watering fixture follows this one when Ireland host world champions South Africa in Dublin (17:40 GMT).
A pair of evening fixtures follow with France hosting Australia and Italy entertaining World Cup qualifiers Chile (both 20:10 GMT).
There are two games tomorrow with Scotland rounding off a disappointing campaign against Tonga (13:40 GMT) before what could be a cracker in London.
England, fresh from beating Australia, Fiji and New Zealand, hunt a clean sweep against an Argentina side who impressed in Cardiff and Edinburgh (16:10 GMT).
