The stats on the players
for this weekend's second All Blacks v Poms test at Christchurch. The Poms
ringing in the changes out back after their pretty dismal backline performance,
but leaving the pack as is, but for Loch Ness Sheridan (a real Myth) being
replaced by the Wasps Tim Payne. This brings the England champions
presence in the pack to four, plus Joe Worsley on the bench.
All Black debuts for
Waikato's Richard Kahui and North Harbour's Rudi Wulf. Adam Thomson gets
his second test match, and his first start also.
