    Former All Blacks centre Frank Bunce has sympathy for Billy Proctor after the emergence of Quinn Tupaea as an option in the 13 jersey


    Tupaea thrived in his first international start in the position against the Wallabies in Perth - scoring two tries.

    Bunce says Proctor - who started the previous six tests at centre - will have watched on with gritted teeth.



    Both players are expected to be named in the All Blacks squad for their end-of-year tour, starting on November 2nd against Ireland at Chicago.
