New Zealand coach Steve Hansen has rung the changes in his side to face Wales in the Rugby World Cup bronze-medal match on Friday, while Warren Gatland's side have lost four players through injury.
Hansen has created space for his departing veterans with captain Kieran Read, centres Sonny Bill Williams and Ryan Crotty, and wing Ben Smith all named to start.
Just eight starters from New Zealand's 19-7 semi-final loss to England have been named.
"This was a tough team to select because, as always, everyone wanted to play," Hansen said.
"But with a short turnaround and the nature of the tournament we feel that this is the right team for this occasion."
Hansen will retire as All Blacks coach after the match.
Wales have not beaten New Zealand in 66 years, but carry the momentum of winning the Six Nations earlier this year and the added incentive of it being Warren Gatland's last match as coach after 12 years in charge.
Meanwhile, Wales will go into that match without four players, who have been ruled out by injury.
Full-back Leigh Halfpenny (concussion), wing George North (hamstring), prop Tomas Francis (shoulder) and flanker Aaron Wainwright (hamstring) all miss out after starting the semi-final loss to South Africa three days ago.
Gatland has made nine changes for his final match in charge before stepping down, including starts for Cardiff Blues wing Owen Lane, Ospreys prop Nicky Smith and Scarlets flanker James Davies.
Halfpenny had concussion issues last season, being sidelined for several weeks and missing a number of games for Wales and his regional team the Scarlets.
The Welsh Rugby Union, meanwhile, said Francis's shoulder injury would require ongoing assessment.
Lane starts just a week after flying to Japan as an injury replacement, with Hallam Amos taking over from Halfpenny in the number 15 shirt.
There is also an opportunity for centre Owen Watkin, with Hadleigh Parkes dropping to the replacements' bench after starting all of Wales's six previous games in the tournament.
Tomos Williams moves into the half-back partnership alongside Rhys Patchell, while a reshaped back row sees flanker Justin Tipuric moving from openside to blindside and Davies packing down alongside Tipuric and Ross Moriarty.
Wing Josh Adams makes a seventh successive start in the tournament and needs one try to break Shane Williams's Wales World Cup record of six touchdowns.
Gatland's reign ends after the All Blacks game, concuding a 12-year reign highlighted by Wales winning four Six Nations titles, three Grand Slams and reaching two World Cup semi-finals.
Wales: Amos; Lane, J Davies, Watkin, Adams; Patchell, T Williams; N Smith, Owens, D Lewis, Beard, Alun Wyn Jones (capt), Tipuric, J Davies, Moriarty.
Replacements: E Dee, Carre, W Jones, Ball, Shingler, G Davies, Biggar, Parkes.
New Zealand: B Barrett; B Smith, Crotty, S Bill-Williams, Ioane; Mo'unga; A Smith; Moody, Coles, Laulala, Retallick, S Barrett, Frizzell, Cane, Read (capt).
Replacements: Coltman, Moli, Ta'avao, Tuipulotu, Todd, Webber, Lienert-Brown, J Barrett.
Meanwhile, Wales full-back Liam Williams could face a lengthy lay-off after being injured at the World Cup.
Gatland says he thinks the Saracens player could be out for three months with an ankle problem.
He was hurt during a Wales training session in Tokyo last week, and has had surgery in the UK.
Williams was ruled out of the tournament and replaced at full-back by Halfpenny for the semi-final defeat.
A three-month absence would sideline him from Saracens' Heineken Champions Cup pool games and a number of Premiership fixtures.
Wales, meanwhile, kick off their 2020 Six Nations campaign under new head coach Wayne Pivac against Italy in Cardiff on 1 February.
"I think he had surgery yesterday," Gatland said. "I think it will be three months. That surgery takes about that long.
"If we had made the final, he would still be here with us. In fairness to Saracens, they had agreed that. But if we weren't, they wanted to get him back for surgery as quickly as possible."
