All Blacks make three changes for the second Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney
Coach Dave Rennie named the All Blacks side to face the Wallabies in Sydney, with three changes to the starting team for the second Bledisloe Cup Test (NZ Herald, 1News, RNZ). RNZ said Fabian Holland returns. Stuff reported that Kirifi gets a chance at redemption and that the Wallabies have a debutant after a setback.
The Bledisloe Cup is the oldest regular trophy contest in rugby between the two countries, and a second Test can decide the series.
If you follow the team, this selection shows how the coach is weighing form and fitness after the first Test.
Look at who starts rather than who is dropped. What to watch: the kick-off time and the Wallabies’ replacement.
