It’s a rivalry that goes back to 1905 but has been mostly one-sided for the last 73 years.

The last time the two nations met, the All Blacks cruised to a 52-26 victory, but that wasn’t enough to save Scott Robertson’s job. Almost 12 months later Dave Rennie arrives on the back of three straight convincing wins and a chance at finishing unbeaten in the Nations Championship.

Wales are ranked 10th in the world and sit fifth in the Northern Hemisphere standings with two wins and two defeats. They are coming off a win over Japan and next face Australia with a likely ninth or 11th place final awaiting them in the finals weekend.

The All Blacks finished their season with another late flourish, in what would be the final test under Scott Robertson. One week after their humbling Twickenham defeat that crushed their Grand Slam hopes, the All Blacks eventually cruised to a comfortable win in Cardiff to maintain their 72-year unbeaten record against Wales. The All Blacks led 24-21 after 50 minutes before taking over the test.
