All Blacks look set to target Tuilagi

Manu Tuilagi has been warned to expect an aerial bombardment as New Zealand seek to expose the England wing’s inexperience in his new position.

Tuilagi will start on the right flank, outside centres Billy Twelvetrees and Luther Burrell, when the tourists attempt to level the series at Forsyth Barr Stadium tomorrow.

It will be his first Test appearance in a role he last performed for Leicester in 2011, and there are question marks over his speed on the turn and aerial ability. All Blacks fly-half Aaron Cruden has promised any achilles heal will be targeted ruthlessly.
