Wales will host New Zealand in the opening game of the Autumn Internationals today, Saturday 30 October, in Cardiff.
While the bookies have the All Blacks as favourites heading into the game, the Welsh have scored some classic tries against New Zealand over the years.
Starting back in 2003 with legendary winger Shane Williams, the electric speedster finished off this brilliant team try at the World Cup in Australia.

More recently Scott Williams and Jonathan Davies provided the goods in spectacular fashion against the three-time world champions while Williams also claimed the score from the iconic 15-man line out almost 10 years ago.
