Show Notes
The All Blacks have stuck with the tried and tested for their final fixture of the year against Italy in Turin on Sunday morning.
Changes are minimal from Paris – the team is relatively close to what could be termed a first-choice 23.
There are five changes to the run on-side that lost to France, four being injury related.
Captain Scott Barrett told Mike Hosking they had a focus on improving each game they played in the end of year tour.
He says that while the narrow loss to France hurt, the team will be better for that.
“Hopefully we can get through this game and, you know, that’s an 80 minute performance that we can, you know, hang our hat on and be proud of.”
