Sam Warburton has been recalled to the Wales team to face New Zealand in their Autumn International clash on Saturday.

Five changes have been made in all with Jonathan Davies, Rhys Priestland, Matthew Lees and Luke Charteris also recalled to the side that lost against Samoa last Friday.

Wales have suffered back-to-back defeats to Argentina and Samoa in their Test series thus far and have consequently dropped out of the top eight in the International Rugby Board rankings.

Warren Gatland will take charge of Wales's next two games before Rob Howley takes over for the Six Nations.

Wales in full:

Halfpenny; Cuthbert, J Davies, Roberts, North; Priestland, Phillips; James, Rees, Jarvis, Davies, Charteris, R Jones, Warburton, Faletau
