Finlay Christie is in line for his first test match in 13 months after being named on the All Blacks reserves for Sunday's Rugby Championship opener against Argentina in Cordoba. 

He's been preferred to uncapped Crusaders halfback Kyle Preston as deputy to Cortez Ratima. 

Captain Scott Barrett bolsters the second row after sitting out the final two tests against France with a calf injury. 

D’Arcy Waldegrave caught up with Christie for a chat about what it means to be reselected, the expectations surrounding his role, and how he’s lifted his game during the Super Rugby season.
