New Zealand boss Scott Robertson insists the All Blacks are not underestimating Wales, despite making 12 changes from their defeat to England.
Only captain Scott Barrett, flanker Simon Parker and Will Jordan, who switches from full-back to wing, keep their places from the team beaten 33-19 at Allianz Stadium last weekend.
Outside-half Beauden Barrett, flanker Ardie Savea and hooker Codie Taylor are among the big names rested at Principality Stadium on Saturday.
All Blacks head coach Robertson said: “We have a lot to play for this weekend.
“We want to put on a performance that reflects the effort and pride we have put in.
“We do not underestimate the passion and resolve that Wales will bring and we know how organised, accurate and ruthless we need to be in return.”
New Zealand have won their last 33 matches against Wales, with the All Blacks’ last defeat in the fixture coming in 1953.
