Description

A revamped All Blacks side has been tasked with maintaining an almost 72-year unbeaten legacy against Wales on Sunday morning in Cardiff. 

Three players —captain and lock Scott Barrett, flanker Simon Parker and Will Jordan, who shifts to the right wing— remain in the run-on side from last week's loss to England. 

Ardie Savea and Codie Taylor are among the players rested...along with Cam Roigard and Beauden Barrett. 

Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Mike Hosking much like the bronze medal match at the Rugby World Cup, no one really wants to play it. 

He says it feels more like a box ticking exercise, but they’ve got to get through it, come home with a win, and then face what comes over the course of the summer.
