Do the All Blacks rugby team play Wales in Cardiff every Autumn?

The All-Blacks will generally play four of the Six Nations during each of the end-of-year tours. That math would indicate that they play in Cardiff about two of every three years. But it actually works out to something less, as there are no end-of-year tours every fourth (World Cup) year.

Most years the New Zealand All Blacks will play Wales in Cardiff as part of the annual Autumn International series. However, if it is a Rugby World Cup year (i.e. 2003, 2007, 2011) then the Autumn Internationals get bumped and New Zealand do not visit Cardiff (unless the RWC is hosted in Cardiff). During the last 10 years, New Zealand have played Wales in Cardiff on the following occasions: November 2002 November 2004 November 2005 November 2006 November 2008 November 2009 November 2010 And New Zealand have won every one of these matches! The next match will occur later this year, when Wales and New Zealand meet on 24th November 2012.
