New Zealand captain Kieran Read expects his side to complete a 3-0 whitewash of Wales by winning the third and final Test in Dunedin on Saturday.
The All Blacks have already wrapped up the series by claiming convincing victories in the first two Tests thanks to dominant second-half performances and Read has predicted another strong display despite the hosts naming a much-changed side.
Coach Steve Hansen has made 12 changes to his matchday 23 with three uncapped players and another four with only 11 Tests between them as he looks at different combinations ahead of the Rugby Championship which starts in August.
Read said: "The boys, as a team, want to go out there and really deliver a great performance to put an exclamation mark on the series.
"Wales will back themselves as well. They've certainly done that, so we've got to try and get on top of them a bit quicker than what we have done in the last couple of games."
For Wales, it is the last chapter in an arduous year that has seen them play 17 Tests from the time they started their build-up to the World Cup last year.
In addition to losing in Auckland and Wellington, they have also had six players return home because of injury.
But assistant coach Neil Jenkins said they still harbour thoughts of beating the All Blacks for the first time since 1953.
"If we keep improving, keep evolving and if we keep doing what we're doing, I have no doubts we can be thereabouts," he said.
"It's been a long hard year for them but, again, they've learned a hell of a lot about themselves.
"When you play the best side in the world on their own patch, and play the way that we have played and tried to play, we're only going to grow and learn.
"I'm sure the guys, once the final whistle goes, they'll have a couple of beers and enjoy the rest. The boys will enjoy their holidays after it."
