Ian Foster has confirmed an All Blacks team to take on England this Saturday in London that has six changes from the XV that beat Scotland 31-23 last Sunday in Edinburgh. In the pack, Codie Taylor, Tyrel Lomax and Brodie Retallick step in for Samisoni Taukei’aho, Nepo Laulala and Akira Ioane.

The inclusion of the suspension-served Retallick for his 100th Test cap sees him start at lock with Scott Barrett switching to blindside and Ioane missing out. On the bench, two back-rowers are included with Shannon Frizell joined this week in reserve by Hoskins Sotutu.

In the backs, Aaron Smith, Richie Mo’unga and Rieko Ioane are named in place of Finlay Christie, David Havili and Anton Linert-Brown. Havili and Linert-Brown are two of the three backs subs, along with TJ Perenara.

The recall of Mo’unga to start has also resulted in a number of positional switches. Beauden Barrett, last weekend’s No10, has switched to full-back and the No15 against the Scots, Jordie Barrett, is now stationed at No12.

An NZR statement read: “The 31-year-old Retallick will become the twelfth All Black to reach the 100-cap milestone and just the second lock forward in that illustrious group, alongside captain Samuel Whitelock.

“Retallick and Whitelock will also create their own piece of history, setting a new world record of 64 Test starts together. The previous record (63) was held by South Africa’s Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield. Playing in his eleventh international season, Retallick will share the special occasion with family who have travelled from New Zealand to celebrate along with teammates and team management.”

Foster said: “The All Blacks congratulate Brodie and his family on what is an extremely proud moment for them. He has had a massive contribution to the legacy of this team over the last decade, during which he has inspired many.”

Some curious and confounding selections on the bench.

Picking two midfielders is unusual for the All Blacks. Which Barrett will Havili replace - Jordie or Beauden?

Rieko will slot into left wing replacing Clarke when ALB takes the field.

Frizzell's sub will mean Scott Barrett will move to lock, but Sotutu will either be straight swap with Savea, or Savea moves to openside replacing Papali'i which is a big call to lose either of those two in the last 20.

Finally Laulala's continuing selection is contrary to Foster's public comment after the Irish series that they needed dynamic, ball carrying props to contribute outside their core roles. Laulala is not that type of player, he's your traditional strong scrummager who lumbers when he carries the ball. Confounding selection.

A big and strong side, should be an epic game. A massive challenge for our team, here is hoping they win it, either way I will support them, Go BLACK!

Fantastic team. England ran at Richie multiple times in the 2019 WC. They will again I suspect. Especially if Mo’unga is on the same side of a ruck or scrum as Caleb Clarke.

Les clubs anglais sont-ils les seuls à blâmer pour leurs performances en Champions Cup ?

As a thriller writer, I'm pleased to have crafted suspense for high-stakes disasters, kidnappings, computer hacking break-ins, and political scandals. Nothing in my writer's arsenal had prepared me, however, for the chilling real-world danger of losing my $290,000 hoard of Bitcoin savings. This horror was not to play out in some dimly lit alley or foggy backroom but in my kitchen, fueled by writer's block and Red Bull. I'd been up for 36 hours, writing the denouement of my new book, a crypto heist thriller, ironically enough, when tragedy struck. Bleary-eyed, I attempted to organize my digital files, but in my sleep-deprived state, I reformatted the USB drive containing my private keys in error. I felt as though I'd written myself into a plot twist with no escape. Panic was more crippling to me than any looming deadline. I tried everything, data recovery programs, techie friends, even making a final, desperate call to the manufacturer, whose support person, bless her heart, was more concerned about my hydration status than my financial ruin. I was about to pen my own doleful ending when a midnight Google splash led me to (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT). They'd been featured in a technology blog's "Real-Life Mysteries" series—a fitting discovery for a suspense-addicted author. The tale described their work in recovering funds from ransomware attacks and lost hardware. It was the origin story of a band of cyber superheroes.

I shouted out, anticipating a robo-support reply. But instead, I received a human being, a calming, smart voice that informed me I was not the first writer to make a catastrophe of a blunder (though I might win an award for most sleep-deprived). Their computer forensics division handled my case like a detective division closing a cold case. They took me through each step using words even a writer could understand. They used advanced data reconstruction techniques to retrieve my keys from the wiped drive, an endeavor they compared to un-erasing a book manuscript burned to ashes. Ten nail-sucking days passed, and I opened my email inbox to read: "Funds Recovered." A rush of relief swept over me like the greatest plot twist. My story did have a happy ending, after all. I now backup everything like a mad villain, but I sleep soundly too, knowing (TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT) is out there, the little-known heroes of fiction and real life.

Lyon rejoint le Racing 92 en quart de finale de la Challenge Cup

I can rewire a human brain, course through the most sensitive neural pathways, and restore life with steady hands and a sharp scalpel. But it would appear none of those prepared me for the horror of a hardware wallet that had decided it wanted to self-destruct. It had been years since my Ledger device had sat comfortably in my drawer, unvexed and pristine, like a relic from my earlier Bitcoin investment days. Then came the fateful evening when I decided to switch it on just to check on my stash. That is when I was greeted by an error message so incomprehensible that it could as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics. At first, I kept calm. I had been in life-and-death situations before, so surely, I could troubleshoot a problem with my wallet. Rebooting? Nothing. Firmware reset? Even worse. With every attempt, my precious $680,000 worth of Bitcoin seemed to slip further from my grasp. The real panic set in when I realized that I had stored my recovery phrase somewhere "safe"-so safe that even I couldn't remember where it was. Hours of frantic searching, multiple YouTube tutorials, and a last-ditch effort to reach out to Ledger support resulted in one grim conclusion: "Your funds may be irretrievable." As a neurosurgeon, I’m used to bad news—but this? Unacceptable. That is when I discovered TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. A little skeptical I was- if they couldn't help me, a manufacturer of the device, then how would anyone else? I had nothing to lose. The moment I reached out to them, I knew I had done the right thing: I was professional, transparent, and confident that they could recover my lost Bitcoin. They performed some kind of digital wallet emergency surgery, getting everything back in six days. Through what can only be described as magic, by way of forensic techniques, they bypassed corruption and extracted my private keys and every Satoshi, to boot. If it stopped there, that would've been great; then they walked me through how to properly secure my assets going forward more "too safe to find" backups. I may be the expert in the operating room, but when it comes to resuscitating a dead crypto wallet, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY is your team on call. Cold storage has failed; don't try to self-operate, just get the pros in before your Bitcoin flatlines.
