Adams sits this one out
Two tries last weekend. Rested this weekend. Josh Adams will not face New Zealand on Saturday, with the Wales staff choosing to give the winger a break after his double in the 28-21 win over Japan.
Gabriel Hamer-Webb takes his place on the wing. It will be only his second Test.
Wales named four changes in all for the Nations Championship clash in Cardiff.

Who comes in
Hamer-Webb joins Louis Rees-Zammit, Eddie James and Max Llewellyn across the back line, with New Zealand-born Blair Murray at full-back. Sam Costelow keeps the No 10 shirt and pairs again with scrum-half Tomos Williams.
The back row is reshaped by injury. Taine Basham comes in at No 8 in place of the injured Aaron Wainwright, with Jac Morgan and James Botham on the flanks. In the second row, Adam Beard replaces Ben Carter, who drops to the bench. Dewi Lake captains the side from hooker.
A tall order
Beating Japan steadied things. The All Blacks are a different level of problem, and Wales go in without one of their sharpest finishers of the month. Hamer-Webb gets the chance Adams earned.
