New Zealand head coach Ian Foster has made nine changes to his starting XV as they take on Uruguay in their final Pool A clash on Thursday at the OL Stadium in Lyon (8pm).

Sam Cane comes back into the side to resume captaincy of the All Blacks for the first time in this Rugby World Cup. He played for 20 minutes off the bench last week against the Azzuri. Foster has also made seven changes to the bench.
