The Wales v New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Union odds for this Wales New Zealand betting International at the Millennium Stadium has the All Blacks as overwhelming favourites to win. History strongly suggests New Zealand will win the match in a fixture where they have built up a huge psychological barrier during more than 100 years of rugby matches played between the two rugby mad nations. This barrier has proven insurmountable for the Welsh, it is true that Wales cleared it three times between 1905 and 1953, but a New Zealand victory in Cardiff on Saturday would be their 20th in a row.
Given such a run of defeats, Wales could easily be excused if they suffered from an inferiority complex but they are the Six Nations Grand Slam champions, and have forced the All Blacks to show respect by probably fielding their strongest team for the sell-out game.

The bottom line however is the fact that Wales last defeated New Zealand 55 years ago, they have been on the end of a dismal results sequence that has seen them score only 187 points, while conceding 654. That average score-line of 34-10 in the All Blacks' favour could easily be repeated this week.
The last time Wales took on the All Blacks when they were Six Nation Grand Slam Champions ended in a 41-3 thrashing in 2005. Positive thinkers however will remember the agonising 26-25 defeat in 2004 and Wales have 10 survivors from their match-day squad involved this time around.
Wales will also know that against South Africa last week that the game was there for the taking and Wales should have won it after dominating possession and territory, if they can reproduce that form and remember how to finish that could easily upset the odds and moreover the history of this fixture.
Betting has New Zealand as 1/9 odds on while Wales can be backed at 5/1.
