WELLINGTON (Reuters) - For a dead-rubber match in a series already won by the All Blacks, the issue of team selection for the third test against Wales in Dunedin has created much debate in rugby-mad New Zealand this week.

The All Blacks sealed the series against Wales with a 36-22 victory in Wellington last Saturday, having opened their international season with a 39-21 victory in the first game in Auckland on June 11.
