Pick your Wales team to face New Zealand as squad is announced

Now Wayne Pivac's Wales autumn squad has been named, attention will swiftly turn to which players will be selected to face the All Blacks on November 5.

New Zealand's visit to Cardiff is the first of four autumn Tests, with Wales also hosting Argentina, Georgia and Australia throughout November.

With the WRU expecting strong results over the next two campaigns ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, room to experiment will be limited.

So, will we see the likes of uncapped Josh MacLeod, Dane Blacker, Sam Costelow, Joe Hawkins and Rio Dyer all making their debut?

To the other extreme, veterans Ken Owens, Justin Tipuric and Leigh Halfpenny are all recalled after long-term injuries. Would you throw them straight in?

Who do you opt for in the back row, with Taulupe Faletau, Dan Lydiate, MacLeod, Jac Morgan, Tommy Reffell, Christ Tshiunza and Tipuric all in the mix?

Have your say and pick your Wales team to face New Zealand below:
