I have looked at the train, park up at severn tunnel junction or Caldicot train station, train in and out Cardiff, Via Newport, only downside is the last train is 11.20 ( which would be fine ) train arrives in Caldicot at midnight, drive home, but last train through Newport with the Rugby on and people on the piss all day

One other option with a "late" train is Filton Abbeywood.
For me all the train options fail my penultimate train on the schedule test as IMHO planning to catch the last train anywhere is not worth the risk nowadays.

Eastbound through the tunnel around 10.45pm on a Saturday night should be clear. If westbound is closed, may have to go through Newport and just leave more time to get to the match. Less worries about trains then.

This coming weekend the closure is East bound. I would leave the M4 at junction 28, Tredgar House and follow the docks link road south of Newport and rejoin the M4 at The Coldra

Indeed, I am familiar with the late night tour of Newport. More concerned about a potential long crawl in traffic westbound, but it seems that is now not the case.
