Jordie, Scott and Beauden Barrett will all start for New Zealand against Canada, with the All Blacks making eleven changes for their second World Cup game. “Our aim is to win the next two Pool matches against Canada and Namibia, as well as continuing to grow our game and manage the workload across the group,” Hansen said. “Whilst there’s a huge amount of energy and excitement amongst the whole team about what lies ahead, this week there has been a real focus on ourselves and our own standards.” It is a new front row for the All Blacks, and one of relative inexperience, with Atu Moli, Liam Coltman and Angus Ta’avao each yet to mark their tenth cap. T.J. Perenara replaces Aaron Smith at scrum-half, while New Zealand persist with the two playmaker system that served them so well against the Springboks, which means it remains Richie Mo’unga at ten.
