    All Blacks captain Scott Barrett's hopes of playing England this Sunday morning at Twickenham look promising

    All Blacks captain Scott Barrett's hopes of playing England this Sunday morning at Twickenham look promising


    The gash to his knee came safely through a training session at the side's London base.

    Forwards coach Jason Ryan says Barrett still needs to get through more this week.



    Loose forwards Luke Jacobson and Samipeni Finau return home due to a head knock and family illness respectively.

    Christian Lio-Willie, Josh Beehre and Caleb Tangitau link up from the development XV as cover.
