All Blacks v Wallabies: Injuries force Rennie to make tough selection choices
Coach Dave Rennie has described the All Blacks side named to face the Wallabies on Saturday as the 'hardest to pick' of his tenure.
Rennie has had to juggle injuries - naming Damian McKenzie at 10 and Beauden Barrett at fullback with Richie Mo'unga out.
He's also opted for Josh Lord and former skipper Scott Barrett in the second row, with Tupou Vaa'i, Peter Lakai and Wallace Sititi forming the loose forward trio.
Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained further.
