Basham starts for Wales as Wainwright ruled out

Wales have recalled Taine Basham to start at number eight against New Zealand on Saturday, replacing the injured Aaron Wainwright. The change reshapes the back row as Wales seek a stronger performance after beating Japan 28-21.

Head coach Steve Tandy has made four starting changes: James Botham and Adam Beard also come in, while Gabriel Hamer-Webb earns his second cap on the wing in place of Josh Adams. Wainwright has a minor calf injury; prop Tomas Francis is out for the rest of the campaign. Wales have not beaten New Zealand since 1953, and the All Blacks arrive after a 43-21 win over Scotland.
