The All Blacks take on Tonga at Mt Smart Stadium tomorrow night in their first test of 2021 and both sides have plenty of newcomers, particularly Tonga, as Covid-19 and player unavailability impacts the strength of the Ikale Tahi team.
The All Blacks have four uncapped players to Tonga's 13, with the Pacific Islanders having to pull players out of New Zealand club rugby to fill the matchday 23.
RNZ's rugby reporter Joe Porter spoke to Corin Dann.
