    The All Blacks locks are getting less experienced by the week on the grand slam tour

    The All Blacks locks are getting less experienced by the week on the grand slam tour


    Tupou Vaa'i and Patrick Tuipulotu are out for the year and captain Scott Barrett is sidelined this week, meaning 23-year-old Fabian Holland and 24-year-old Josh Lord start against Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday morning.

    They've got a combined 19 tests, while Sam Darry adds six off the bench in his first test of the year.

    Robertson has backed the 25-year-old.



    Wallace Sititi starts at blindside flanker in place of Simon Parker - Leicester Fainga'anuku slots into the midfield for Jordie Barrett.
