The band will feature alongside the Treorchy Male Choir, 'Ar Ol Tri, Cor Meibion Taf' before and during the Wales versus Samoa and Wales versus Argentina matches at the invitation of the Welsh Rugby Union Musical Director, Dr Haydn James.

BTM have entertained the crowds in the stadium for past international and Heineken Cup matches.
