Sevu Reece, the Fiji-born winger for the All Blacks, will make his start against Japan this Saturday. Known for his impressive speed, Reece will take to the field on the left wing.
This match holds special significance for veteran player Patrick Tuipulotu, who has been appointed captain of the All Blacks for the first time in his international career. Additionally, Peter Lakai and Ruben Love are set to potentially make their debuts, having been named among the reserves.
In the front row, Tamaiti Williams, Asafo Aumua, and Pasilio Tosi will take their positions. The locks will feature Sam Darry alongside Tuipulotu. On the flanks, Samipeni Finau and Vice Captain Sam Cane will perform, with Wallace Sititi filling the number 8 role.
Cam Roigard is set to make his first start at number 9, while Damien McKenzie will take on the flyhalf duties. The wings will see Reece partnered with Mark Tele’a. In the midfield, Anton Lienert-Brown and Billy Proctor will team up, with Stephen Perofeta starting at fullback.
The forward reserves include George Bell, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Fletcher Newell, Josh Lord, and Lakai, while the backline will be supported by TJ Perenara, David Havili, and Love from the bench.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:50 PM at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama.
