Much-changed All Blacks to face Springboks

A host of fringe players will get the chance to stake a final claim for a place in New Zealand’s World Cup squad after being named in the starting XV for Saturday’s Tri Nations clash with South Africa.

Full-back Israel Dagg (thigh), wing Isaia Toeava (hip), centre Richard Kahui (hamstring) and loosehead prop Tony Woodcock (foot) have all been included and will play their first Tests of the year.
