Hansen makes seven changes to his semi-final team – and it’s not just the coaches signing off from All Blacks’ rugby today. Captain Kieran Read is also retiring, along with Ben Smith and Ryan Crotty, who both start today. Ardie Savea’s injury gives Shannon Frizell a chance to start at No 6.
Injuries have badly hit Gatland’s hopes of Wales’s first win against the All Blacks for 66 years, and he makes nine changes. Hallam Amos is in at full back while the half-backs are Tomos Williams and Rhys Patchell at No 9 and No 10 respectively. Nicky Smith and Dillon Lewis come in to the front row. The ever-inspirational Alun Wyn Jones is captain, in what will surely be his final Rugby World Cup outing.
