Blacks pick strongest side

NEW ZEALAND have named what appears to be their first-choice side for Saturday’s Tri-Nations decider against the Wallabies.

The side includes ten of the starting 15 who featured in the 30-14 victory over the Wallabies earlier this month, with Richie McCaw returning to captain the side in his 98th Test.

The most notable absentee is Jerome Kaino as Adam Thomson moves to blindside flank.
