New Zealand captain Richie McCaw believes the world champions will be able to cope without their talisman Dan Carter as they go into battle against Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
While New Zealand have already breezed past Scotland and Italy this month, Wales were left reeling by home losses to Argentina and Samoa under interim coach Rob Howley. "We are expecting a Welsh team to come out and front-up," McCaw said. "We certainly respect the way they go about things. "Wales have played a lot of Tests. Give them a bit of space and time and they are good players."
