Powerhouse wing Leicester Fainga'anuku will make his All Blacks debut after being named on Thursday in the side to start against Ireland in the first Test as Covid struck down another New Zealand coach.
Ireland prop Cian Healy has recovered sufficiently from a leg injury sustained against the Maori All Blacks this week to be named among the replacements for the first test against New Zealand in Auckland on Saturday.
Ireland have named their side to take on the All Blacks in Saturday’s opening Test against New Zealand.
It's nearly three years since Niall Scannell last played for Ireland, and as recently as a few days ago it didn't look like he'd be pulling on a green shirt any time soon.
(Reuters) - Israel Folau will return to test rugby for the first since he was sacked by Rugby Australia three years ago when Tonga take on Fiji in the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday.
Peter O'Mahony has been given the nod over Jack Conan in Ireland's back row for Saturday's first Test against the All Blacks in Auckland.
James Anderson thought he had seen it all over the course of an England career spanning nearly two decades but the Test team's transformation under new coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes has caught the veteran seamer by surprise. England brushed aside New Zealand to chase down targets of 277, 299 and 296 and complete a 3-0 series whitewash of the world Test champions in their first series under McCullum and Stokes. Anderson, who has played a record 171 Tests since his debut in 2003, said they had created a totally different vibe among the squad.
Both India and England have a new captain. Both have a new coach. Both teams have lost their vice-captain (Jos Buttler for England, Ajinkya Rahane for India). In fact, if vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah captains the team in place of the covid-hit Rohit Sharma, as reports indicate, India would have had four Test captains this year after KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rohit. The England that India and Bumrah left shattered at a sun-kissed Oval, have enjoyed a resurrection with new skipper Ben Stokes and the attack-at-all-costs approach practised and preached by coach Brendon McCullum.
