    A late change for the All Blacks for the final test against France

    A late change for the All Blacks for the final test against France


    Winger Rieko Ioane has been ruled out of tomorrow's match in Hamilton, with a tight hamstring.

    That means another reshuffle for the New Zealand backline ... Sevu Reece shifts to the left wing, while Will Jordan returns to start on the right, after being named on the bench.



    Meanwhile, the Wallabies are putting their players' names on their jerseys for the first time, in tomorrow's British and Irish Lions series opener in Brisbane.



    The packed crowd for tomorrow's Wellington Phoenix game against Welsh glamour side Wrexham could be feeling shortchanged.

    The home side are fielding a young team with plenty of their stars missing ... some with injury.
