    The first of 11 meetings between Wales’ men and Barbarians took place at Cardiff Arms Park in 1915, with the Baa-Baas winning 26-10.

    The centenary of the Welsh Rugby Union was marked in 1990 against a star-studded side featuring Nick Farr-Jones, David Campese, Jeremy Guscott, Eric Rush, Philippe Saint-Andre, Ian Jones and Mike Teague, who took the spoils 31-24.

    That fixture saw Wales award caps, just as they did in 2011 ahead of the Rugby World Cup and a year later, which helped Martyn Williams bid farewell by becoming a centurion.

    Test novices in Tandy and Lynn’s squads will not win first caps by featuring against the Barbarians this time.

    Barbarians won uncapped meetings with Wales in Cardiff in 2001, 2002 and 2003 before a first fixture in England in 2004.

    The Mike Ruddock era started with a 42-0 victory at Bristol’s Ashton Gate, with the Baa-Baas nilled for the first time since 1978.
