Dewi Lake was born in May 1999, so has only been alive for 21 of Wales' defeats by New Zealand.

Four of them have come after his Ospreys debut in 2018.

Lake has beaten New Zealand as a member of the 2019 Wales side at the World Rugby U20 Championships, but is not thinking of the past or making history.

It the second of three games at Principality Stadium for Wales in the Nations Championship, with a trip over the Severn Bridge for finals weekend at Twickenham at the end of the month.

Beauden Barrett captains New Zealand from full-back when winning his 149th cap.

The All Blacks make eight changes to the starting line-up that beat Scotland 43-21, perhaps with one eye on England next weekend.

Flanker Anton Segner and wing Fehi Fineanganofo make their first Test starts.

Segner, prop George Bower, hooker Asafo Aumua and scrum-half Cortez Ratima move from the replacements into the starting side.

Fly-half Richie Mo'unga (pictured), Fineanganofo, lock Josh Lord and centre Anton Lienert-Brown also come into the XV.

"We have created good depth in this group and there is a lot of competition for places," said Rennie.

New Zealand: B Barrett (capt); Fineanganofo, Tupaea, Lienert-Brown, Moorby; Mo'unga, Ratima; Bower, Aumua, Newell, S Barrett, Lord, Segner, Lakai, Sititi.

Replacements: Bell, Numia, Tosi, Hannah, E Blackadder, Fainga'anuku, Preston, R Ioane.

Wales have suffered a blow with the loss of number eight Aaron Wainwright through injury.

The Leicester forward's absence presents a chance for his former Dragons team-mate Taine Basham to take his Cardiff club form onto the international stage.

It is his first Wales start since 2022 and he will hope to repeat his dynamic display against the All Blacks in November 2021.

James Botham replaces Alex Mann at blind-side flanker and wing Josh Adams is rested, with Gabriel Hamer-Webb coming into the side for his second cap.

The fourth change to the XV sees lock Adam Beard get the nod ahead of Ben Carter.

Back rower Taine Plumtree and props Gareth Thomas and Dillon Lewis are named among the replacements.

Wales: Murray; Rees-Zammit, E James, Llewellyn, Hamer-Webb; Costelow, Tomos Williams; N Smith, Lake (capt), Griffin, D Jenkins, Beard, Botham, Morgan Basham.

Replacements: Elias, G Thomas, D Lewis, Carter, Plumtree, Morgan-Williams, Edwards, Hennessey.

Good afternoon and welcome to Principality Stadium, where Wales could make history against New Zealand.

Will the near 73-year wait for a victory against the All Blacks be ended? Unlikely, but we can dream.

Steve Tandy's men face a huge task against the second best side in the world and a strong performance would get a tick in round two of the Nations Championship.

Wales got the job done against Japan in terms of winning with a bonus point, but it was far from convincing.

There are plenty of areas for improvement and the home side need to go up through the gears if they are to even keep it close this afternoon.

To start the build-up to kick-off, let's have a look at the teams...
