All Blacks primed for whitewash

DUNEDIN — All Blacks captain Kieran Read believes his side are primed to complete a 3-0 whitewash in the final Test rugby against a battered Wales unit still clinging to the hope of an upset win today. The much-changed All Blacks want to put “an exclamation mark on the series”, Read said, describing the feeling in the world champions’ camp.

With the series already wrapped up with convincing wins in the first two Tests, New Zealand have made 12 changes to the match-day 23 with an eye to grooming combinations ahead of the Rugby Championship which starts in August. But despite the green tinge to a squad that includes three uncapped players and another four with only 11 Tests between them, Read expected an improved performance in what promises to be a fast-paced game in an enclosed Dunedin stadium. — AFP.
