WALES QUILTER NATIONS SERIES FORM SO FAR
The hosts were blown away 28-52 by Argentina at the start of the month but responded with a narrow victory against Japan last week.
It was Scott Tandy's first win in charge and he will be hoping to claim a huge victory against the All Blacks to get his reign truly up-and-running today.

ALL CHANGE FOR THE ALL BLACKS
Scott Robertson selects a new-look New Zealand side. Only captain Scott Barrett, Simon Parker and Will Jordan retain their starting spots from the defeat to England, with the latter shifted out to the wing as he continues to chase Doug Howlett’s try record.
Damian McKenzie takes over from Beauden Barrett at fly half and Fabian Holland is able to return to partner the skipper in the second row after illness. Full-back Ruben Love will provide cover at No 10 if required.

HOW WALES LINE-UP
Flanker Harri Deaves is handed a Wales debut with Alex Mann reverting to the blindside in a remodelled back row - Aaron Wainwright had originally been named at No 8 but is ruled out through injury, leading to a promotion for Taine Plumtree. Rhys Carre and Keiron Assiratti form the propping pair while centre Joe Hawkins is in line for a first appearance since the 2023 Six Nations in midfield.
With Josh Adams suspended following his sending off against Japan, Tom Rogers returns to the back three. Replacement hooker Brodie Coghlan is also primed for a first cap off the bench, and so is Morgan Morse, the beneficiary of Wainwright’s misfortune.
