All Blacks Name Strong Side for Italy Test

News summary

New Zealand's rugby coach Scott Robertson has opted for a nearly full-strength side to face Italy in Turin, resisting calls to rotate players after a narrow defeat to France. Five changes have been made to the starting lineup, including the return of former captain Sam Cane for his final test match before moving to Japan. Ethan de Groot will start at loosehead prop, while Anton Lienert-Brown takes the place of injured Jordie Barrett in the midfield. Robertson emphasized the importance of finishing the season on a high note and acknowledged Italy's improved performance in recent matches. He has warned that Italy, despite not being impressive in their last two games, remains a challenging opponent with a passionate and physical style of play. The match is set to be a significant occasion, taking place in a sold-out stadium at Juventus' Allianz Stadium.
