The two old rugby rivals face off at Eden Park on Saturday night as Wales look to end a losing streak that goes back to 1953.
Winger George North, second fiveJamie Roberts, Welsh skipper Sam Warburton and veteran lock Alun Wyn Jones are the only Welsh players that make the cut.
And if it weren't for the injuries of Nehe Milner-Skudder and Sam Whitelock the Welsh would probably have less players represented, according to the Telegraph.
