All Blacks Team Named: Kirifi Returns, Tavatavanawai Gets His Chance

Du’Plessis Kirifi is back and Timoci Tavatavanawai gets his shot. But how much time will they get to make an impact against the Wallabies?

Plus, the McKenzie–Roigard combination, the questions around Tyrel Lomax, and an injury list that puts New Zealand’s depth into perspective.

One big win is a start. Now the All Blacks need to do it again.
