Wales face an unbeaten New Zealand side at the Principality Stadium on Saturday as they return to Nations Championship action.
Steve Tandy's team go into the match after a 28-21 victory over Japan last weekend, but suffered an injury setback with number eight Aaron Wainwright ruled out after picking up a leg injury.
Wales have won two and lost two of their four matches in the competition so far, leaving them fifth in the six-team northern hemisphere pool.
The All Blacks arrive in Cardiff having won all four of their fixtures. They are level on points with South Africa but sit second because of an inferior points difference heading into this round of matches.

Team News and Lineups
Wales have made four changes for Saturday's Nations Championship meeting with New Zealand, with winger Gabriel Hamer-Webb set to win his second cap.
Hamer-Webb replaces Josh Adams, who scored twice in last weekend's 28-21 victory over Japan but has been rested. He joins Louis Rees-Zammit and New Zealand-born Blair Murray in the back three.
Sam Costelow continues at fly-half alongside scrum-half Tomos Williams, with Max Llewellyn and Eddie James in midfield.
James Botham comes into the back row at number six, alongside Jac Morgan and Taine Basham, who replaces the injured Aaron Wainwright.
Dafydd Jenkins and Adam Beard form the second-row partnership, with captain Dewi Lake at hooker between props Nicky Smith and Archie Griffin.
Beauden Barrett will captain New Zealand for the first time, as head coach Dave Rennie makes several changes for the Cardiff trip.
Barrett will win his 149th Test cap, extending his record as world rugby's most-capped back. He takes over from Codie Taylor, who is replaced at hooker by Asafo Aumua.
George Bower and Josh Lord also come into the pack, while Anton Segner makes his first All Blacks start.
Fehi Fineanganofo earns his first start on the wing in place of injured Will Jordan, with Anton Lienert-Brown replacing Jordie Barrett at centre.
Richie Mo'unga and Cortez Ratima form a new half-back partnership, with Mo'unga returning after a calf injury.

Head-to-Head History and Prediction
The head-to-head record is miserable reading for Welsh fans, who have not celebrated a victory over the All Blacks since 1953.
Wales wins: 3, New Zealand wins: 35, Draws: 0.
Wales should benefit from home advantage and will take confidence from last weekend's victory over Japan, but facing New Zealand represents a significant step up in quality.
The All Blacks, who won 52-26 in Cardiff last year, will look to use their superior pace, power and attacking options, and Wales will hope more accuracy at set-pieces will keep them competitive during 80 minutes.
Expect the All Blacks to pull away in the second half after a closer opening period. New Zealand to win by 24 points.
Wales to win: 20/1, New Zealand to win: 1/50, Draw: 50/1, via UK betting sites (subject to change).
