Head coach Warren Gatland will return to the Wales dugout after seven months out with a serious foot injury this weekend against New Zealand.

His first job is to get the team back to winning ways following five consecutive defeats in his absence.

World champions the All Blacks enter the match in imperious form with an unbeaten run that stretches to 19 matches.

The big injury news is that New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter will miss the contest due to a leg muscle injury.

He will be replaced by Aaron Cruden, while Cory Jane and Aaron Smith are among 10 changes for the visitors.

Wales received a huge boost ahead of the match with the return of captain Sam Warburton and there are also starts for Jonathan Davies, Rhys Priestland, Matthew Rees and Luke Charteris.
