All Blacks to blood Reece against Pumas, SBW out - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Coach Steve Hansen was forced to ring the changes for Saturday’s match in Buenos Aires after deciding to rest eight players from the Super Rugby-winning Canterbury Crusaders and losing veteran Sonny Bill Williams to injury.

The 22-year-old is the only uncapped player to start the match but Hansen named another four debutants on the bench – utility back Braydon Ennor, halfback Josh Ioane, loose forward Luke Jacobson and prop Atu Moli. Williams failed to recover from a hamstring strain and Hansen said winger Rieko Ioane missed out simply because he had already established himself at the top level ahead of the World Cup.

The pack has a makeshift look about it as several first-choice Crusaders forwards are missing, prompting Hansen to give prop Angus Ta’avao his second Test start.
