calendar year

Gatland has overseen a record 11 successive Test match defeats, and another loss this weekend would see Wales go a calendar year without winning a Test for the first time since 1937.

For Wales, world champions South Africa arriving in Cardiff next Saturday as the hosts look to avoid finishing a calendar year without a win for the first time since 1937.

Argentina, who have now lost all 11 Tests they have played in Dublin, have beaten France, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in this calendar year alone.

Global average temperatures across the year are on track to end up more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, which would make 2024 the first calendar year to breach this symbolic mark.

"It is understood that this process is likely to continue until the end of the calendar year."
