All Blacks put best foot forward

NEW ZEALAND have named virtually their strongest side – including Richie McCaw and Dan Carter — for Saturday’s clash with England at Twickenham.

Only prop Neemia Tialata and full-back Cory Jane, both of whom are rested, are missing from what is otherwise the All Blacks’ most formidable line-up on tour.

In total there are 13 changes to the side that defeated Italy 20-6 in Milan last Saturday with winger Sitiveni Sivivatu and lock Tom Donnelly the only survivors.
