RugbyU: All Blacks look to youth to get back on winning track

ROME, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Nov, 2016 ) - The All Blacks have made 12 changes to their starting line-up as they seek to bounce back from a rare defeat by overcoming Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Flanker Sam Cane skippers the side for the second time while hooker Liam Coltman and teenage wing Rieko Ioane will be hoping to make international debuts from the bench after being named in the match-day 23 for the first time.

Last weekend's 40-29 defeat by Ireland in Chicago has raised the stakes for a rematch with the Irish in Dublin on November 19. But Hansen insisted that had not swayed him from his original plan to send out a youthful, relatively inexperienced XV against a new-look Italy.
