Warren Gatland hopes that Wales's winning finish to the Autumn Internationals will set them up for a successful start to the Six Nations next year.
Gatland led Wales to the title in 2012 and 2013, but two defeats this year saw them finish third in the table behind England and winners Ireland.
With their opening match against England just over two months away, the coach told BBC Sport: "We've got the Six Nations now and we've got to look forward to that Friday night match here against England. And that is going to be a big match.
"The autumn series is about playing the best teams in the world, there's no competition points at stake, and for us it's about the Six Nations and preparing for that."
Wales beat South Africa at the Millennium Stadium yesterday to end their autumn series with victory.
