Nov 12 : Wales have made four changes to their side for the Nations Championship fixture against New Zealand on Saturday, including winger Gabriel Hamer-Webb winning a second cap in place of Josh Adams.
• Adams scored two tries in the 28-21 victory over Japan last weekend, but is rested with Hamer-Webb making up a back three that also includes Louis Rees-Zammit and New Zealand-born fullback Blair Murray.
• Sam Costelow continues at flyhalf alongside Tomos Williams at scrumhalf, with Max Llewellyn and Eddie James the centre pairing.
• James Botham is named in the number six jersey in a back row alongside Jac Morgan and number eight Taine Basham, who replaces the injured Aaron Wainwright.
