Captain Scott Barrett has returned to lead the All Blacks against Australia in Perth on Saturday

2 October 2025

Coach Scott Robertson has made 12 changes to the match-day 23 - six in the starting line-up, six on the bench.

Black Caps white ball captain Mitch Santner has confirmed he WILL be available to tackle England on their six-match white ball tour of New Zealand.

Santner's three weeks into his recovery from surgery for a sports hernia...and reckons he'll be 100 per cent in a fortnight.

Dally M winner James Tedesco has endorsed Reece Walsh as Australia's next rugby league fullback...following his own call to withdraw from the Kangaroos' squad to tour England.
