The All Blacks have only had to make one change to the side that beat Ireland last week as they gear up for the challenge of Wales.
Richard Kahui comes in for the injured Conrad Smith at centre in an otherwise unchanged team including three props.
Coach Graham Henry believes that his side face a tough match against the Six Nations winners. “They (Wales) play an expansive style of attacking rugby and have talent across the park, so it’s shaping up to be another classic encounter.”
