The All Blacks have made a last-minute adjustment to their squad to take on England, in the third weekend of the Quilter Nations Series. New Zealand's late change comes in the engine room, as lock Fabian Holland pulls out of the clash with an illness.
Scott Robertson has replaced Holland with Josh Lord, with the 24-year-old Chiefs man reinforcing the second row alongside returning captain Scott Barrett. With Lord promoted up from the bench, the All Blacks have called upon Sam Darry to take a seat amongst the replacements.
Darry is in-line to make his eighth Test cap for New Zealand, should he come off the bench against Steve Borthwick's side. England and the All Blacks kick off at 15:10 this afternoon, with England out to make amends from last Autumn's defeat to New Zealand, and extend their own personal winning run to 10 matches in a row.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
