Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny has admitted that beating New Zealand this weekend would be the greatest achievement of his career to date.

The All Blacks have not lost against Wales in 61 years, winning the last 25 meetings between the pair in that time.

However, Halfpenny remains confident that his side can cause an upset at the Millennium Stadium as long as they remain focused from the first minute until the last.

"It's a huge challenge, but one that we are very excited about," the Daily Mail quotes the 25-year-old as saying. "We will have to be at the top of our game to be in with a shout of winning.

"We need to play for the 80 minutes and cannot afford to have a lapse of concentration against a side as good as the All Blacks. We have to believe that we can win, right from the first minute. There is respect for them, but we have to treat them exactly the same as other opponents.

"There is a buzz and excitement and the fact that we haven't beaten the All Blacks for so long means there is an opportunity for us. There have been some great victories during my career in a Welsh shirt, but to beat the All Blacks would be at the top of them."

This fixture marks the end of New Zealand's European tour in what will also be their last visit to British shores until next year's World Cup.
