not being lately very usual for Wales to be close to full strength (Halfpenny and Lydiate only casualties), this first game is going to be very tough,......... Welsh know perfectly well the first match is their best chance to beat the AB,....... and they need only one win to turn the series a great succcess, to make history,....... they are going to throw all they have in this first game,........ and lately the AB are rusty in their first game of the season,........ very dangerous and interesting game

 Brother the ABs have been given more time to prep this year ,and thats gotta be a good thing .Wales have really only had one hit-out since the 6N so they're not that much better off as regards ring -rust I reckon .I am excited to see how the new look ABs perform and at Eden park is an ideal way to kick off a new era I reckon .

Yes, this new era will kick-off with some concern IMO. The AB team looks good but I would feel better with the likes of SBW or Ngatai playing. 
I will be on the edge of my seat on this one. A key and basic factor will be can Cruden kick his goals? Hopefully the game will be under control so it won't be a vital factor.

 Beating the All Blacks at home is probably the toughest quest any international team can expect to face.
As much as I would enjoy that, I can't see it happening. 
Either way ... gooooooooooooo Wales!!!!!!!!!!

 CC - Wales has an iffy team - it was only Meyer's goats who lost one test in 2014 and barely managed to beat them with near to 70% ball possession in 2015.  That is no norm for determining the strength of a team.  I am afraid the AB's is going to beat that so-called full strength outfit with ease.   The AB's are not going to waste a ball possessi on advantage situation like Meyer's team did.
