    All change for Leicester Fainga'anuku as he returns to the All Blacks tonight against the Wallabies in Perth

    All change for Leicester Fainga'anuku as he returns to the All Blacks tonight against the Wallabies in Perth


    Fainga'anuku starts on the left wing, having not played a test since the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup in France.

    Since then, he's been based in Toulon and the majority of the All Blacks coaching staff has changed.

    And he's told the Herald he also hasn't played a lot of wing recently either.



    Live commentary tonight from 10:45pm on Newstalk ZB, Gold Sport and iHeart Radio.
