Wales get their hands on the ball in the New Zealand half and Rhys Priestland tries a cross-field kick which doesn't quite come off.

It came off an All Black last, though, so Wales will have a line-out midway through the visitors' half.

Wales compete for the restart inside New Zealand's 22 but eventually Aaron Smith is able to clear.

Gareth Anscombe spills the high ball and Jordie Barrett boots it away this time.

So far, so cagey.

Penalty to New Zealand just a little more than 10 metres into the Welsh half and it's in kickable range.

New Zealand safely gather kick-off and clear, and off go Wales for their first spell of possession.

George North almost breaks free in midfield, much to the excitement of the home crowd.

Wales recycle but then concede a penalty as Gareth Anscombe is pinged for holding on under pressure from Ardie Savea.

All Blacks kick to touch in the Welsh half.

It will be Wales' Rhys Priestland to take kick-off.

Referee Wayne Barnes blows the whistle (the one used when Wales beat Zealand in 1905, remember) and we're off.

Some noise in here!

Oof, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau sounding as good as it has done for a long time at the Principality Stadium.

Cries of 'Wales' greet the haka, before the crowd falls silent momentarily. And then it's more of the 'Wales' chant.

Let's go!

I'm worried about those players in the starting 15 who haven't had much game time as they'd have liked for their teams this season.

Being fit is one thing, but being match fit is something completely different.

Wales have to be careful they don't empty the tank early on.

New Zealand always bring a high-tempo game, so it was great to see Japan also bring a high-tempo against the All Blacks last week.

Today we have to bring our own game against New Zealand too.

Rees-Zammit has been running the show for Gloucester this season, I want to see him doing the same in a red shirt today.

The teams are back out on the Principality Stadium pitch, the flames are up and the male voice choir have made way for Mettalica. It's almost time!

Next up it will be the anthems and the haka. Wonder if Wales will have any novel responses to the haka this time?

There's always pressure when you wear that red Wales shirt, but facing the All Blacks is a unique and fantastic experience especially when you face the haka.

Those players who are facing New Zealand for the first time today will have to be ready to face the All Blacks, and it's a perfect chance for them to showcase their abilities on a rugby field.

I'm looking forward to seeing Justin Tipuric leading out the new players as well as the experienced players we've got in the squad.

Alex Cuthbert has been getting to know fellow wing and Wales' newest star, Rio Dyer, ahead of his debut against New Zealand.

Dyer's caught the eye for Dragons this season but it sounds like he's got some work to do to realise his ambition of being on Dragons' Den.

It's obvious Wayne Pivac is building for the World Cup, unfortunately for him he's had to deal with so many injuries during the last 12 months, he doesn't know what his best starting fifteen is.

I just hope from today onwards they won't have more injuries, and they can properly build for the World Cup.

New Zealand's backline is frighteningly potent - but Wales centre Nick Tompkins says he's looking forward to taking on their midfield flair players Rieko Ioane and Jordie Barrett.

Tompkins once again partners George North in the centre as he did in all three Tests in South Africa in the summer.

In our encounters over the years New Zealand have won matches thanks to their ability to manage games.

Something maybe Wales haven't been able to do in recent seasons.

I just hope Wales have enough confidence to keep possession when they're ahead today and going through the phases.

Want another potential omen?

The 1953 All Blacks side that lost to Wales included Nelson Dalzell, the grandfather of New Zealand's captain today Sam Whitelock.

Clutching at straws? Maybe.

It's a big occasion for referee Wayne Barnes as he takes charge of his 100th Test today.

In reaching three figures, Barnes equals the record set by his good friend and long-time colleague, Welshman Nigel Owens, who reached his century when he took charge of France’s win over Italy in the 2020 Autumn Nations Cup.

Barnes will then set an outright record of 101 Tests when he referees the match between France and South Africa in Paris next Saturday.

For today's game, Barnes will start the match with the whistle used in the famous 1905 Test between Wales and the All Blacks. The result that day? A Wales win.

We can't beat New Zealand playing a conservative game but if we play a more expansive game we're going to have big problems.

Wales will have to go for it if they're going to have a chance of beating the All Blacks.
