The first BIG Test of the international end-of-year schedule will take place this weekend when England host the All Blacks in London.
Meanwhile, New Zealand coach Scott Robertson recalled several senior players on Thursday as he named his side to face England.
Elsewhere in the forwards, former skipper Sam Cane remains at openside flanker and 2023 world player of the year Ardie Savea comes in at No 8. “While we have met England twice this year already, four months is a long time in rugby and we know that both teams are different to the ones that met in New Zealand in July,” said Robertson.“The All Blacks have had some fierce battles there in recent years and that’s a challenge that we will step forward to, especially with the Hillary Shield at stake.
