Rewind two and a bit years, and Wayne Pivac is announcing his first Wales squad.
It's just 16 days after the World Cup campaign has finished - November 19, 2019 to be precise - and an uncapped Test against the Barbarians represents Pivac's chance to put his own mark on the team post-the Warren Gatland era.
With an eye on the Six Nations a few months on, Pivac chose a 35-man squad - blending new faces with senior players who had not been overly-used at the World Cup.
