Wales rugby tune up for their inaugural Nations Championship tour with a fixture against the Barbarians at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium.
Steve Tandy’s side are gearing up for fixtures against Fiji, Argentina and South Africa in July as they embark on a tough summer tour to launch the new competition.
First, though, comes this non-capped clash with the famous invitational side, which will be part of a double header with Sean Lynn’s Wales women also in action against the same opposition.

Uruguay’s World Cup ended in acrimony and “disgrace” as Marcelo Bielsa took full responsibility for their underwhelming group-stage exit after a 1-0 defeat to Spain.
“What do I leave for Uruguayan football? Nothing,” Bielsa, the Argentinian coach who previously managed Leeds, said. “Because any contribution that a coach might make to football in a country after three years of work never truly takes hold if results aren’t achieved. Fourth place in the qualifiers didn’t count for much, and a third-place finish in the Copa America didn’t, either.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 26: Shoja Khalilzadeh #4 of IR Iran scores his team’s second goal that was ruled offside following a VAR review during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group G match between Egypt and IR Iran at Seattle Stadium on June 26, 2026 in Seattle, Washington.

For a brief moment, it looked as if Iran had snatched a dramatic stoppage time winner against Egypt to secure their first ever berth in the FIFA World Cup knockout round.
NEW DELHI: Shreyas Iyer marked his return to India’s T20I side in historic fashion on Friday, taking charge of the team on his captaincy debut in the format after the longest absence from T20Is before leading a side internationally.
When Iyer walked out for the toss in the opening T20I against Ireland in Belfast, he had missed 63 consecutive T20 internationals for India since his previous appearance against Australia in Bengaluru on December 3, 2023. The remarkable gap is the longest by any player before captaining their national side in T20Is for the first time.
For an Iran squad whose simple presence at these World Cup Finals was a precariously run thing for so many months, the continuation of their unprecedented journey in North America is hanging, like so many others, by an excruciating 24-hour thread. But only after the most enthralling – and agonising – seven minutes of stoppage time you will ever see.
For West Ham in May, see Iran in June: glorious goalscoring moments at the death taken away in the cruellest of ways.
The 2026 World Cup group stage concludes on Saturday with Groups J, K and L in action.
This is the last day before the knockout round begins and there is plenty still left to be the decided. The Round of 32 bracket is almost filled and with three groups remaining, we will get answers and matchups by the end of the day.
Here’s what you need to know for Day 17 of the World Cup.
Panama vs. England
Saturday, June 27 | 5 p.m. ET | East Rutherford, N.J.
SEATTLE — It was the World Cup game everyone had been eyeing for months, some with defiance, some with trepidation, some with fury.
As is so often the case, however, the fears of the unknown are worse than the reality. A game that was supposed to represent the worst of what the World Cup has become instead was a showcase of why it’s so magnificent.
Egypt and Iran did not walk off the field at the sight of Pride flags in the stands. There were Egypt fans wearing Pharaoh headdresses and Iran fans waving flags past and present.
