8 changes to the all Blacks side to play the Yarpies at the weekend with the highlight for me at least that Ruben Thorne gets a start..
5 changes to the Boks, with probably the most interesting one being the bracketing of Butch "no arms in the tackle" James with Meyer Bosman at 10.
Solly Tyibilika takes over from Joe van Niekerk at openside and goes up against Richie Macaw.
Should be an interesting game and dont write off the Boks. They will play the rush defence again and as we saw last year they can unsettle Carter considerably with this ploy. As Aron Mauger is not playing outside him either for this game expect to see some instability in the AB's backline.
Weather will probably be crap as well...snowed again last night (in Canterbury)
All Blacks by 13 and under.......
