Wales vs. New Zealand: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Rugby Preview
In their last stop of the autumn international series, New Zealand travel to face Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday with an unbeaten streak to uphold.
The All Blacks have already beaten the United States, England and Scotland in the past three weeks, and they have the opportunity to once again finish with a 100 percent record on tour.
Warren Gatland hasn't been as fortunate, and defeat to Australia a fortnight ago was followed up by a narrow 17-13 win over Fiji, with many areas in need of improvement.

All Blacks Hoping to Finish In the Green
Just as they did in 2013, Steve Hansen's side will look to end their autumn tour with an unblemished record to their name. However, beating Wales more convincingly than they did in the last-gasp victory over Ireland last year would be the preferred route.
While most other Tier One nations are hoping to gain a full head of steam in advance of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, New Zealand have never really lost their momentum at the summit of rugby's elite order.
As tight as their 24-16 win over Scotland was—New Zealand held just a one-point lead until the dying minutes—Hansen has had a chance to experiment.
The emergence of Malakai Fekitoa as a potential long-term successor in the centres has been encouraging to see in recent months. Freshmen such as James Parsons, Augustine Pulu, Nathan Harris and Patrick Tuipulotu have also gained useful experience in the side of late.
For all the world-class talent in their starting XV, the All Blacks' most enamouring attribute remains a depth unlike any other in international rugby. To keep gaining results as they have while blooding emerging new faces is a stellar achievement given their unmatched success over recent years.
To cap off the 2014 autumn tour without losing to even one host would be spectacular and make them the only one of the southern hemisphere's big three to do so, with South Africa and Australia having already tasted defeat in Europe.
Key Battle
Jamie Roberts vs. Sonny Bill Williams
Of all the "new" faces New Zealand are enjoying, perhaps the happiest to be back in their ranks is Sonny Bill Williams, who, after a hiatus in the National Rugby League, is again firmly nestled in the All Blacks midfield.
His one-on-one with Welsh inside-centre Jamie Roberts this weekend promises to be a game-changing one, with Rugby World's Paul Williams noting the importance of Gatland's warrior shutting down Williams:
There aren't many centres in the world up to such a task, but Roberts sits among a selection one would suggest is capable of doing so.
A rounded No. 12 of the highest class, Roberts will also be extremely pleased with Jonathan Davies' timing after the Independent's Matt Majendie confirmed the Clermont playmaker was back for Saturday's collision.
Gatland has numerous options at outside centre, but there's no denying that a Roberts-Davies fusion is his optimum choice. By merely being back in the side, the latter gives opponents another star to keep their eye on and takes some of the focus off Roberts as a result.
Williams is known for his barnstorming runs that are sure to give Roberts a task in defence. But up against such a respected talent himself in Cardiff, questions might be asked of the New Zealander's defence on Saturday.
