Rieko Ioane will start a top level rugby match on the right wing for the first time since 2019 when the All Blacks play France in the second test

10 July 2025

Ioane shifts from the left wing to the right for Saturday's rematch in the capital, also the last venue he played in the 14 jersey for the Blues against the Hurricanes in 2019.

Robertson says they mulled over the best way to replace the injured Sevu Reece.

Patrick Tuipulotu comes into the run-on side for injured skipper Scott Barrett, while Timoci Tavatavanawai will come off the bench for a probable debut.
