    Teams

    ClN1DhYWQAAeKaZ.jpg

    Dagg slots right in at fullback with Smith moving to the wing after Savea put in a defensive display that Christian Wade would be proud of. Sam Whitelock returns after injury, with Luke Romano dropping out of the squad completely.

    Wales:

    Wales also make a change in the back three, with Rhys Patchell, in a move reminiscent of Paddy Wallace in 2012, comes from OUT OF ****ING NOWHERE to start at fullback, with Gatland moving his most potent attacking weapon, Liam Williams, to the wing. But it's not all bad news for Wales, as human-giraffe hybrid Luke Charteris also starts after captaining the midweek team to one of Wales' most embarrassing defeats ever. Penalty machine Bradley Davis drops to the bench.

    Referee: J Peyper (South Africa).

    Prediction
    Wales play well for 20 minutes, but get an injury in the backline requiring a Riverdance level backline re-jig. New Zealand then proceed to casually score a try whenever they feel like while Brodie Retallick roams the stadium eating every one of those stupid daffodil headgear yokes he can find.

    Receding hairlines, dodgy moustaches, loss of form, shoulder injury, gain of form. Nice to have Izzy back. More Superman impressions please to go with the "fish with open mouth" impressions.

    Wales win the coin toss. Their only win of the day.

    Halfpenny is playing today for Toulon. If they lose will he be released for the third test?

    He'll be released. Considering Gatland's paucity of options in the back three, I wouldn't be surprised if he was told to get on the first available flight.

    How the packs stack up. Big weight advantage for Wales, not that it means a huge amount these days.

    That was a decent phase from Wales. But they have to work so hard to even get hold of the ball.

    Wales deserve the lead. NZ have been rubbish so far, Wales harrying them at every ruck.

    Fairly evident forward pass from Dagg to Naholo in the initial break but Wales should never have been so weak in defense, way too easy.
