Wales to name team for All Blacks with key changes

Wales will name their team to face New Zealand this morning, with head coach Steve Tandy expected to make several changes for Saturday's clash at the Principality Stadium.

The team announcement is scheduled for 9am, with Tandy facing the media shortly afterwards. New Zealand will also name their team on Thursday.

Expected changes to the starting XV

Aaron Wainwright is likely to miss out, with Taine Basham in line to start in his place. Adam Beard is also expected to start, with Ben Carter anticipated to be named on the bench.

James Botham could also be included in the back-row, while there is a chance Josh Adams does not feature. Changes are also possible in the front row and on the wing.

Team announcement and reaction

Until yesterday, minimal changes were expected for the match, but it is now believed Tandy will announce quite a few new faces at 9am. The full team will be revealed this morning, with live updates following the announcement.
