Recap: All Blacks vs Tonga at Mt Smart Stadium

Four uncapped players have been named in the All Black side to take on Tonga in Auckland on Saturday.

The All Blacks have the luxury of calling on a 36-man squad of Super Rugby players while the Tongans have named 13 debutants - the bulk of those coming out of club rugby, Jamie Wall writes. Video

Tonga have picked 13 debutants, some from club rugby, to play the All Blacks raising concerns about whether the game will do either side any good.

Opinion - You might have noticed our national team have been on an excursion to South Auckland - let's all remember it's as much part of New Zealand as anywhere, Hamish Bidwell writes.
