Rugby World Cup: Major changes for All Blacks v Canada

From Checkpoint, 5:28 pm on 30 September 2019

The All Blacks have made a raft of changes to the team to play Canada in their second Rugby World Cup pool match in Oita on Wednesday with an entirely different front row, midfield and wings.

The three Barrett brothers, Beauden, Scott and Jordie are all in the starting XV, making them the first set of three brothers to start for the All Blacks at a World Cup.

Meanwhile, hosts Japan produced arguably the second biggest World Cup upset when they beat Ireland 19-12 in the stunner in Shizuoka on the weekend, with Pool A now anyone's for the taking.
