All Blacks-Wales dates confirmed

Wales' two Test matches in New Zealand in June 2010 have been confirmed as being played at Dunedin and Hamilton.

The All Blacks kick off their season against Ireland in New Plymouth on Saturday, 12 June before Wales play them twice in eight days.

The first Test will be played at Carisbrook in Dunedin (19 June) followed by the clash in the Waikato Stadium, Hamilton (26 June).

Kick-off times for both matches have yet to be confirmed.

The Test at Carisbrook will be the first time the Welsh have played New Zealand in Dunedin.

It is also expected to be the last time the All Blacks will play at Carisbrook, given the new Otago Stadium development is due to be completed in time for the World Cup in 2011.

New Plymouth has hosted only one previous Test - a sell-out match between New Zealand and Samoa in 2008.

Wales will play New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, 7 November.
