Wales v New Zealand LIVE: Latest score and updates as hosts face daunting All Blacks test in Nations Championship

Those maul law tweaks came in earlier in the year, but it’s worth noting again the points of emphasis this November. We saw the first hip-drop tackle penalty and yellow card to Australia’s Angus Bell last week.

The prowess of the maul has been a theme of this competition, with sides struggling to find ways to combat the lineout drive. Why is this the case? And is it really as boring as some suggest?

The Nations Championship is hotting up, with South Africa and New Zealand assured of a top two finish in their pool with finals weekend a fortnight away. How did the Springboks’ result in Paris last night change things?

A much-changed New Zealand team are missing a few key figures, too, with wing Will Jordan a doubt for the remainder of the Nations Championship.

The task would be tough enough for Wales with Aaron Wainwright in the side, but the No 8 is absent with an injury.

The intensity level ratchets up for Wales as their Nations Championship campaign continues with a daunting encounter with a New Zealand side bouncing down to Cardiff from Murrayfield. It is more than 70 years since the last Welsh win over the All Blacks – can they spring an almighty shock today?

Kick off is at 2.10pm GMT.
