Wales v NZ a sell-out

Saturday 19th July 2008

Sold out: The Millennium Stadium

The All Blacks' return to Millennium Stadium will be played in front of a full house after tickets to their November Test against Wales sold out in hours on Saturday.

The November 22 match will be New Zealand's first at Cardiff's giant ground since their shock World Cup quarter-final loss to France last October.

That result seemingly hasn't diminished their pulling power, with the Welsh Rugby Union putting up the "full house" not long after the last 20,000 tickets went on sale.

A crowd of 74,500 will watch the Test, which is the penultimate stop on the All Blacks' Grand Slam tour.

Wales' Test against world champions South Africa on November 8 is yet to sell out although sales have broken the 70,000 mark.
