Four changes made to All Black side defeated by Argentina

BY Jack Tunney  ·  Thursday Aug 15, 2024

All Black head coach Scott Robertson has named his side to face Argentina in the second of their Rugby Championship matches, with the two sides coming together again this weekend.

This clash comes just a week after Argentina impressively defeated the three-time World Cup winners 30-38 in Wellington. This time around, the All Blacks will be hosting their South American visitors in Auckland, at the home of the Blues – Eden Park – their fortress.

The All Black backline sees three changes, with Will Jordan and Caleb Clarke returning to the starting fold as Mark Telea drops to the bench and Sevu Reece is removed from the 23.

Experienced international Rieko Ioane takes back his spot at inside centre, as Anton Lienert-Brown makes way. Former captain Sam Cane looks set to move closer to the 100-cap mark as he prepares to make an impact from the bench.
