Wales have made nine changes for their bronze medal showdown against New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup.

Tomas Francis, George North, Aaron Wainwright, and Leigh Halfpenny all miss out because of injury.

That means wing Owen Lane is set to make his World Cup debut.

Meanwhile the All Blacks have made seven changes to the side that went down to England in the semi-finals.

The match will be played on Friday at 1:00 pm UAE time.
