All Blacks vs Wales: A good time to tour New Zealand?
First topic message reminder :
Wales are to meet the All Blacks three times on a summer tour of New Zealand, which takes place some time in June. Wales are also set to face-off against the Chiefs three days after the first test, I think we're just waiting for the go ahead from world rugby. Is now a better time than ever to play the back-to-back world champions/best team to ever have graced the sport?
NZ will be without: Mealamu, Woodcock, McCaw, Carter, Nonu, Smith, SBW, Slade - there might be some others? That's the good news. The bad news is NZ should still be able to call upon Cole, Retalick, Whitelock, Smith, Barrett, Fekitoa, Milner-Scudder, Savea, etc. It's also possible that guys like Dagg and Luatua could come back in. It's a long way off, but Kiwi's, what might the ABs and Chiefs team look like come June?

Re: All Blacks vs Wales: A good time to tour New Zealand?
I would say Wales have every chance of a win in NZ, the first half way thru the
super season.
This isn`t the best team in the World ,the experience of something like 700 caps
isn`t lightly covered.
NZ ,first up are usually rusty in there First test of the season,the pack will only
have one change at 7.Vito or Todd taking Cane`bench place,Nathan Hariss reserve
hooker,Romano lock,Faumina,Crockett/Moody the props.
A .Smith,Kerr-Barlow 9,Cruden 10,Savae,Milner-Skudder wings,Ben Smith/Fekitoa 13,
Crotty 12,Dagg 15.Sopanga/Barrett utility.[Sopanga could start as they need a goal kicker.]
