## Key points

- New Zealand plan to limit Jac Morgan’s breakdown impact.
- The All Blacks have won 34 straight Tests against Wales.
- Rennie made eight changes but says his side respects Wales.

## Summary

New Zealand coach Dave Rennie says the All Blacks have discussed how to limit Wales flanker Jac Morgan’s threat at the breakdown ahead of Saturday’s Nations Championship match in Cardiff. Morgan’s ability to compete for the ball after Wales make a tackle is seen as a key strength, while New Zealand also expect danger from scrum-half Tomos Williams and Wales’ line-out, midfield and wing.

The All Blacks are strong favourites and have beaten Wales in 34 consecutive Tests, a run dating back to 1953. Rennie has made eight changes to the side that beat Scotland 43-21, but says the selection is strong and reflects respect for Wales, who are ranked 10th against New Zealand’s second. New Zealand and South Africa are both unbeaten in the southern hemisphere table as they compete for top spot ahead of the end-of-month play-offs.
