The autumn internationals ae here again and they promise to be belting fixtures.
They don't get much bigger straight off the bat for Wales, with the All Blacks the first visitors to Cardiff on Saturday.
New Zealand's almost untouchable reputation has been severely tested over the past year, with the Kiwis losing four of their 10 Tests.
They will be out to reassert their dominance on Saturday.
Wales will then welcome Argentina, Georgia and Australia to the Principality Stadium over the course of November.
Pivac said of the schedule: “We love playing the All Blacks it’s a fantastic game, there’ll be a sell-out crowd I have no doubt, the atmosphere is going to be like it was pre-covid with the bands and all the excitement.
“I’m really looking forward to it. I know the players are looking forward to it and it’s an opportunity to create history.
“We were hell bent on doing that in South Africa and we’ll love to create some history in that (NZ) match. We’ve got a couple of weeks to prepare for that come Monday.

“We looked at that All Blacks v Australia game. The pace of the game… it was a different game to what we are playing at the moment.
“We’ve got a hell of an adjustment period in two weeks just to play with the intensity and the speed they play at. Australia as well.
“They put 40 on Australia and 50 on Argentina. I think since the changes they’ve made in their back-room staff, and they’ve settled on a squad it looks a pretty exciting squad to me.
“Any team that can put 50 and 40 on those two sides are probably going to be a dangerous animal.”
