Wales centre Jamie Roberts has called upon his teammates to "make a statement" when they host New Zealand on Saturday.
The Red Dragons go into the match at the Millennium Stadium on the back of consecutive defeats to Argentina and Samoa.
"It is hugely important we make a statement," said Roberts. "There is more pressure on us after losing two games of the series. We hope people will see the best of us this week.
"We were very disappointed after Friday night [against Samoa], and it was a tough weekend. We had quite a lot of people asking what is going wrong.
"Nobody is hurting more than the players. It is frustrating because of the high standards we have set ourselves over the last 12 months."
New Zealand are unbeaten in their last 19 Test matches and have not lost to Wales since 1953.
