The All Blacks have named a strong line-up for their final test of the year against Italy in Turin on Sunday.
The side is looking to finish the year on a high, as they aim to bounce back from last week’s 30-29 loss to France in Paris – in what will also be the last games in black for Sam Cane and TJ Perenara.
A-League newbies Auckland FC are back in action after three weeks of rest, as they travel to Sydney for their first game in Australia against Macarthur FC.
The Black Knights – who have won all three games this season – had a bye week, followed by another week off with international football.
Weekend Sport host Jason Pine joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
