New Zealand travel to England to begin their European tour. Following a disappointing Rugby Championship in terms of results, coach Scott Robertson places Damian McKenzie on the bench. It is Beauden Barrett who takes over the opening half position.
This is the match not to be missed this weekend. New Zealand arrives in Europe, to continue their November tour thatit started with a demonstration in Japan. And the All Blacks will meet in the legendary “Twickenham”, now renamed the Allianz Stadium. For the occasion, Scott Robertson lines up the big team, with an XXL three-quarter line. We find Will Jordan at fullback, Mark Tele'a and Caleb Clarke on the wings and Rieko Ioane and Jordie Barrett in the center. Excuse me a little.
At the hinge, Damian McKenzie loses his starting place, leaving the 10 to Beauden Barrett, although aligned with Cortez Ratima, McKenzie's teammate with the Chiefs. Ardie Savea regains his place in the front eight.
The All Blacks starting XV : 15. Jordan; 14. Great, 13. John, 12. J. Barrett, 11. Clarke ; 10. B. Barrett, 9. Ratima; 7. Cane, 8. Savea, 6. Stiti ; 5. See, 4. S. Barrett (cap) ; 3. Lomax, 2. Taylor, 1. Williams.
Substitutes : 16. Aumua, 17. Tuungafasi, 18. Tosi, 19. Tuipulotu, 20. Dinau, 21. Roigard, 22. Lienert-Brown, 23. McKenzie.
