Ten former All Blacks have been included in the Junior All Blacks side to play Samoa in a Pacific Nations Cup rugby match at Apia on Saturday.
Flanker Marty Holah will captain the team with flanker Kieren Read and lock Hoani MacDonald the only two in the forward pack without international experience.
Meanwhile the loss of two midfield backs, Ma'a Nonu's having be called up to the All Blacks and Sam Tuitupou out through injury, has seen Crusaders first five, Stephen Brett moved to second five.
