Justin Tipuric will captain Wales in the upcoming autumn campaign.
The Ospreys openside, who is returning to Test rugby after a considerable lay-off with injury, has skippered his club side for the past few seasons, and will now lead his country in the absence of Dan Biggar.
Biggar, who has captained Wales through 2022, has been ruled out of the autumn through injury. As a result, Pivac has been forced to find a new leader in his squad.
