    Returning All Black Anton Lienert-Brown's promoting time travel as one of Hamilton's biggest assets, ahead of the third test against France

    Returning All Black Anton Lienert-Brown's promoting time travel as one of Hamilton's biggest assets, ahead of the third test against France


    The Christchurch-born, 84-test midfielder is back on the field tomorrow night for the first time since breaking his collarbone playing for the Chiefs in late April.

    Also a Waikato rep since 20-14, Lienert-Brown's been asked to describe his favourite thing about his adopted home town, which the French team snubbed in favour of Auckland for their build-up.



    The 30-year-old will attempt to slice open the French alongside Quinn Tupaea - the Chiefs duo named to start at centre and second five, respectively.

    Catch our expert live commentary with build-up from 6pm on Newstalk ZB, GOLD SPORT and iHeartRadio.
