Josh Lord

Josh Lord to make All Blacks debut against the US

Lord has been named on the bench, with Tupou Vaa'i joined in the starting XV by Sam Whitelock, who takes over as captain from Ardie Savea after missing the Rugby Championship tests in Australia.

Coach Ian Foster has made a raft of changes to the side that lost to South Africa in their final game of the Rugby Championship and is giving the players that missed the Australia leg of the tournament a run.
