TOMORROW'S All Blacks side maybe the most inexperienced that the Kiwis have ever sent onto a rugby pitch, but that doesn't mean they should be underestimated.

Just ask Wales outside half Stephen Jones, who has seen at first hand what Steve Hansen's countrymen are capable of.

Five years ago on a cold November night Jones and his club teammates were on the receiving end of an All Black display which created history as they inflicted a crushing 81-3 defeat on the Scarlets, scoring 13 tries in the process.

Now less than 24 hours before Wales take on New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium, Jones has no desire to repeat the experience.

Then as now Jones lined up against Andrew Mehrtens.

The All Black has scored 909 points in 65 Tests and Jones has a lot of respect for his opposite number.

"He's a great player. He's virtually done everything in rugby and he can do anything on the field," said Jones.

"He loves the running game and he's a great tactical player. Last time I played the All Blacks was bit of a disaster really," admitted Jones. "Hopefully the result will be a bit better tomorrow."

In 1997 Jones was taking his first steps along the road of a successful rugby career. Now the outside half has 24 caps, 201 international points, and a desire to help his side write their names into the history books.

Team manager Alan Phillips has called Saturday's game a 'golden opportunity to make history,' and Sonny Parker has described it as the biggest game of his life.

And although the importance of tomorrow's match is not lost on Jones, he insists he won't be overawed.

"For me it's a dream come true to be playing against the All Blacks for Wales," said Jones.

"I realise it's going to be a very difficult game, we'll have a difficult task and we're treating the All Blacks with the huge respect they deserve.

"We know we're going to have to be at our best, but as a squad we've had a good three weeks so far and hopefully we can finish it off with a win."
