It is considered an away game for Wales with the Principality Stadium hosting non-related rugby events over the summer.

Wales men last played the Barbarians in November 2023 in Cardiff when the hosts won 49-26 in an 11-try uncapped encounter.

It was a final farewell to Welsh legends Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric, who both played for the Barbarians, and full-back Leigh Halfpenny, who started for Wales.

Wales were coached by Warren Gatland against a Barbarians side led by Eddie Jones and Scott Robertson.
