Henry rings the changes despite rout of Wallabies

NEW ZEALAND have made three changes to the side that hammered Australia 49-28 in Melbourne on Saturday for this weekend’s return match in Christchurch.

Wellington’s Piri Weepu starts at scrum-half with the uncapped Alby Mathewson on the bench and Jimmy Cowan not considered for selection because of a rib injury.

Auckland centre Benson Stanley pushes Israel Dagg out of the 22. All Blacks coach Graham Henry believes his side can still improve.
