Ruddock’s refusal to make wholesale changes to the side which lost so narrowly to South Africa last Saturday should boost attendance as Wales attempt to turn on the style against the Europeans who notched up an impressive victory over Italy this summer.
Gareth Thomas will lead a team littered with talent, experience and youth with the likes of Gavin Henson, Luke Charteris and Hal Luscombe growing with each game under Ruddock’s tenure and established stars Stephen Jones, Dwayne Peel, Rhys Williams and Gareth Llewellyn have been given the chance to shine once more.
The Millennium Stadium Ticket shop at 98 St Mary Street will be open from 9am until kick off on matchday, with ticket booths at Gates 6 and 7 and Cardiff RFC ticket office open from 2pm until kick-off.
Tickets are available now at £8 and £4 children from the ticket hotline (08705 582 582) or www.wru.co.uk and the Millennium Stadium shop.
