All Blacks reshuffle forward pack for South Africa Test

The All Blacks have announced significant changes to their starting lineup for the third rugby Test against South Africa at FNB Stadium. With the four-Test series currently tied at 1-1, head coach Dave Rennie has reshuffled the pack to seek a decisive victory.

Veteran hooker Codie Taylor has been dropped from the starting XV, with Asafo Aumua promoted to the position. The forward pack also sees the inclusion of Sam Darry at lock and Peter Lakai at flanker. Lock Tupou Vaa'i will celebrate his 50th Test match during the encounter.

In the reserves, Samisoni Taukei’aho and Wallace Sititi will provide impact, while Fabian Holland moves to the bench. Rennie emphasized the importance of the upcoming match, stating, “The team that doesn't win this weekend can't win the series.”
