All Blacks Team to Play South Africa!

Hunga is back!

The All Blacks team to play the Springboks at Eden Park in Auckland this Saturday has been named.

Steve Hansen has made 5 changes to the squad - some forced by injury to players, e.g. McCaw and the return from injury of Messam, Nonu and Franks - in a bid to freshen up the squad against the top-of-the-table Boks in what will be the toughest test for the ABs yet.

The ABs were slightly below par in difficult conditions against a competent Los Pumas side last week so this is a chance for the likes of Messam and Coles to prove their value to the squad.

Here it is -
1.Tony Woodcock
2.Dane Coles
3.Owen Franks
4.Brodie Retallick
5.Sam Whitelock
6.Liam Messam
7.Sam Cane
8.Kieran Read (captain)
9.Aaron Smith
10.Dan Carter
11.Julian Savea
12.Ma'a Nonu
13.Conrad Smith
14.Ben Smith
15.Israel Dagg

16.Keven Mealamu
17.Wyatt Crockett
18.Charlie Faumuina
19.Steven Luatua
20.Matt Todd
21.Tawera Kerr-Barlow
22.Beauden Barrett
23.Charles Piutau
