During his team's tour of South Africa in 2008, Wales coach Warren Gatland expressed a desire to include matches against provincial teams when they visited New Zealand in 2010.[2] A game against the NZ Māori was mooted,[3] but no such fixtures were scheduled and the tour was limited to two test matches against the New Zealand national team.[4] A pre-tour match against South Africa in Cardiff was confirmed in March 2010.[5]
