Rejuvenated Welsh rugby skipper Sam Warburton is relishing a three-test series against a rebuilding All Blacks side, challenging his team to take their shot at history.

Wales haven't beaten the All Blacks since their 13-8 win in Cardiff in 1953.

New Zealand are on a 26-test winning streak against Wales as their Kiwi coach Warren Gatland prepares them to head south for internationals in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin on successive Saturdays in June.

Classy flanker Warburton has had a tough season at home battling injuries that interrupted his Six Nations campaign.

But the upside to that is he's feeling fit and fresh at a time when most players in the north are battered and bruised after their long seasons.

Warburton is certainly upbeat about the challenge in front of him.

"My body doesn't feel like it's April because I had that two-month lay-off. I haven't played the rugby that a lot of guys have played coming into this stage of the season, so my body feels fine," Warburton told Walesonline.

"The thought of going on the summer tour, if selected, doesn't daunt me at all. People say it's three tests against New Zealand, but that's three opportunities to get a win against someone that Wales haven't beaten for more than 60 years.

"It's not been on any Welsh players' CV for a long, long time, so it's an amazing opportunity more than anything. You know you can go out there and give it everything because after that you've got the best of four or five weeks off to do absolutely nothing.

"So there's no excuses. You know it's three games you've got to front up for and do the best you can, so whoever is selected I am sure will be really excited for that one."

Warburton made it clear he expects the All Blacks to be as tough as ever despite the exodus of senior talent following their World Cup success last year, a victory that earned them the team of the year gong at the Laureus Sports Awards on Tuesday (NZ time)..

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is looking to replace the likes of Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Tony Woodcock, Keven Mealamu, Ma'a Nonu, and Conrad Smith in his first-team ranks.

"People say they have lost 'x' amount of players, but while they might lose experience they will never lose talent," Warburton told Walesonline.

"The difference with New Zealand to any other country is the strength in depth and quality of player they have got.

"That's not trying to take pressure off ourselves, but I've just seen it many times when we've played them. They've had one or two guys missing and suddenly someone steps up from nowhere and they are an unbelievable player."
