Patchell, 23, comes into the side at full-back with Liam Williams switching to the wing in the only change in the backline. Hallam Amos completes the back-three alongside Williams and Patchell whilst Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies continue in the midfield and the Ospreys partnership of Rhys Webb and Dan Biggar are named at half-back.

Charteris is the only change in the forward pack as he comes in alongside Alun Wyn Jones in the second-row. Gethin Jenkins, Ken Owens and Samson Lee make up the front-row with Ross Moriarty, Sam Warburton and Taulupe Faletau completing an unchanged back-row.

"It is important we go out on Saturday with the confidence to play for 80 minutes in what will be another huge test match," said Warren Gatland.

"We kept the ball and played well for periods of the first test and we need to convert that to the full eighty.

"It will be another huge occasion, in a packed out stadium in Wellington and we are determined to build on our first test performance.”

On the bench Scott Baldwin, Rob Evans and Tomas Francis provide the front -row cover with Bradley Davies and Ellis Jenkins completing the forwards. Gareth Davies, Rhys Priestland and Scott Williams are named as the backline cover.
