Entry to Principality Stadium will be free to everyone with gates open from 11 am ahead of the training session at midday.

Tickets are available to book free of charge now from wru.wales/tickets please note a £1 fulfilment fee per booking applies.

Supporters will be able to redeem four tickets per person to the event, and all tickets will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Children under two years of age will not require a ticket but will need to sit on the lap of their parent/guardian.

This will be the first time since the summer 2023 that supporters will have been given the opportunity to watch the men’s national squad during training.

Speaking about the event Tandy said: 

“In Wales, we have the most amazing and passionate fans. Their support and the incredible atmosphere they create is really special for the players, us coaches, and staff. It was important for us to give people the chance to come along and see what we do in training.

“It’ll be our first week in camp for the Quilter Nations Series and 11 days before we play Argentina. We’re finalising our exact plans for the day, but people can expect to see different elements of our preparation, as well as hear from some of the backroom team.

“With it being half-term, we’re hoping this can offer a great day out option for families, and we’re excited to welcome everyone to Principality Stadium on 29 October.”
