In June 2010 Wales toured New Zealand in a two-test series. First in Dunedin, then in Hamilton. Before the series, New Zealand sat first in the World Rankings, while Wales sat at eighth. At the conclusion of the series, Wales dropped below Argentina, to ninth.
Fixtures
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. A game against the NZ Māori was mooted, but no such fixtures were scheduled and the tour was limited to two test matches against the New Zealand national team. A pre-tour match against South Africa in Cardiff was confirmed in March 2010.
