The All Blacks' 2024 test rugby season begins this Saturday evening as they take on England in the first of two matches in Dunedin. Coach Scott Robertson will oversee his first match in charge of the national side, and on Thursday named his side to play the English - one that looks rather familiar, with many players that have worn the black jumper in recent years.
First off on It's Only Sport, Kiwi rugby reporter Jamie Wall joins host Martin Devlin to dissect all the main talking points around the New Zealand side named, including halfback TJ Perenara's return and Stephen Perofeta getting the nod at fullback over veteran Beauden Barrett. Then, Devlin speaks with The Telegraph's chief rugby writer Charlie Morgan for an English perspective on this weekend's test.
