    Captaincy is secondary for All Black Sam Whitelock as he maps his return to international rugby


    He will play for Canterbury tomorrow in his first match since leading New Zealand to victory over Australia in August.

    Ardie Savea led the side in the recent fixtures across the Tasman and is in line to continue that role during the Northern Tour.

    Whitelock's willing to step up again if required.
