No let up from the All Blacks with a summer break in sight. 

That's the view of captain Scott Barrett after coach Scott Robertson stuck with a largely full-strength side for Sunday's final test of the year against Italy in Turin. 

Barrett says they're determined to finish the season on a high. 

There's five changes to the run on side - four of which are due to injury returnees and absentees. 

Sam Cane and Mark Tele'a return from injuries, while Anton Lienert-Brown and Ethan de Groot are in for the sidelined Jordie Barrett and Tamaiti Williams. 

Elliott Smith joined D'Arcy Waldegrave live from Turin ahead of the big dance.
