The All Blacks are switching it up this weekend as they face England. 

The squad named to play at Twickenham is largely different to the one that played Japan, with only three players keeping their role. 

Beauden Barrett will start at first five-eighth against England, taking over from Damian McKenzie who’s previously worn the number 10 jersey.  

Rugby Commentator Tony Johnson told Ryan Bridge that McKenzie’s been given a fairly long leash this year, and he’s just been a bit to erratic. 

He said that Barrett’s experience will be invaluable, and perhaps a little more consistent.
