Barrett Brothers Lead All Blacks in Showdown Against England
Beauden Barrett is set to lead New Zealand's All Blacks as flyhalf against England, joined by his brothers in a strong lineup. Scott Robertson's squad features significant changes from their previous match against Japan, aiming for a repeat victory over England at the iconic Twickenham Stadium.
Beauden Barrett is set to start as flyhalf for New Zealand in their upcoming match against England, which will also feature his brothers Scott and Jordie in key roles. The lineup, announced by coach Scott Robertson, presents a formidable team poised for a major clash at Twickenham this Saturday.
Only three players from last week's victorious experiment against Japan retain their spots, as Robertson reverts to a powerful ensemble for the first game of their November tour. Jordie Barrett, recovered from an injury that kept him out against Australia, is back as inside centre, while Scott Barrett will captain from the second row.
The All Blacks team includes new entries Mark Tele'a and Tamaiti Williams, while Cortez Ratima takes up the scrumhalf role. New Zealand previously defeated England in two tightly contested games this July. Robertson acknowledges the transformation both teams have undergone in four months, expressing eagerness for the iconic Twickenham atmosphere.
