All Blacks make three changes for Tokyo tie
Wednesday October 28 2009
New Zealand coach Graham Henry has named a strong starting line-up for the All Blacks' historic Bledisloe Cup clash with Australia in Tokyo this Saturday.
The team features just three changes from the side that beat the Wallabies 33-6 last month.
Veteran Rodney So'oialo returns to the number eight spot, with Kieran Read dropping to the bench, while Sitiveni Sivivatu and Conrad Smith have returned from injury to start on the left wing and at centre.
Smith replaces the injured Isaia Toeava, while Sivivatu comes in for Joe Rokocoko.
