The final Test of the year for both sides (Wales play again next week, but can only field Dragons, Cardiff, Ospreys and Scarlets players because the game falls outside World Rugby’s designated Test window) is one that neither team will be especially keen on. Could the unusually apathetic mood result in a pleasant surprise?
Instead, they’re faced with a New Zealand team coming off their heaviest loss to England in 13 years – a defeat that’s also killed their bid for a tour Grand Slam and ensured they’ll return home to a brutal trial by media. It’s safe to say the All Blacks have plenty of steam to let off in Cardiff.
Scott Robertson has shown his ire by making 12 changes to his last selection, with only captain Scott Barrett, flanker Simon Parker and Will Jordan, shifted from full-back to wing, retaining their places. World Rugby’s Breakthrough Player of the Year contender Fabian Holland returns to the fold at lock and Damian McKenzie comes in at fly-half.
Bristol wing Louis Rees-Zammit will want to impose himself on his final international appearance of the year, especially with captain Jac Morgan injured and Josh Adams suspended. However, having needed an 82nd-minute penalty to beat Japan by one point at home against the run of play shows where Wales are right now. They’d like nothing more than to keep things respectable.
