AFP - Star fly-half Dan Carter will have the chance to become the All Blacks' record international points scorer this weekend after being passed fit to play Wales in Saturday's international here at the Millennium Stadium.

Carter suffered a calf muscle injury during New Zealand's 32-19 Bledisloe Cup win over Australia in Tokyo last Saturday.

But he was included on Wednesday in coach Graham Henry's team despite not training earlier in the day.

Carter needs just 16 more points to overhaul Andrew Mehrtens's New Zealand Test record of 967.

If he achieves the feat against Wales, Carter will have got there in six fewer Tests than former outside-half Mehrtens - 64 to 70.

And Carter has an especially fine record against Wales, with 92 points in five previous Tests.

Henry made six changes to last weekend's starting XV with 20-year-old wing Zac Guildford set for a Test debut in place of Sitiveni Sivivatu, ruled out of the Wales match after receiving a one-week ban for a dangerous tackle against Australia in Tokyo.

Elsewhere Brendon Leonard came off the bench to play scrum-half in a swop with Jimmy Cowan while up front prop Wyatt Crockett replaced Tony Woodcock, suspended for striking Wallabies' flanker George Smith in Japan.

In the back-row, Kieran Read took over at No 8 from Rodney So'oialo, flanker Jerome Kaino came in for Adam Thomson and Jason Eaton replaced Tom Donnelly in the second row.

The All Blacks have not lost to Wales since 1953, a run of 20 straight Test wins.
