    No let up from the All Blacks with a summer break in sight

    No let up from the All Blacks with a summer break in sight


    That's the view of captain Scott Barrett after coach Scott Robertson stuck with a largely full strength side for Sunday's final test of the year against Italy in Turin.

    Barrett says they're determined to finish the season on a high.



    There's five changes to the run on side - four of which are due to injury returnees and absentees.

    Sam Cane and Mark Tele'a return from injuries, while Anton Lienert-Brown and Ethan de Groot are in for the sidelined Jordie Barrett and Tamaiti Williams.
