The capital of Wales and home base for Australia is a pretty city, despite its industrialisation. A bustling nightlife and a pretty cricket ground, seperated from the River Taff by a famed line of poplar trees, are the prime attractions.

Cardiff has never played host to an LOI till date.

Schedule: 20 May, Australia v New Zealand
