The All Blacks will be looking to bounce back against a Welsh team who can't seem to catch a break. They've only won two tests since the 2023 Rugby World Cup, both wins coming against Japan this year, and look a long way away from being the team that won the 6 Nations in 2021. It's a task made no simpler by the fact that they're facing a wounded All Blacks side who are looking to exorcise their loss to England.
