All Blacks reveal power-packed squad to take on England at Twickenham

In a blockbuster clash for the coveted Hillary Shield, Robertson and his assistant coaches—Scott Hansen, Jason Holland, Jason Ryan, and Tamati Ellison—have unveiled a squad packed with power and talent, ready to conquer the famous Allianz Stadium.

Only three players hold onto their spots from the team that faced Japan, signalling an electrifying shake-up.

At loosehead prop, Tamaiti Williams leads the charge once again, teaming up with Tyrel Lomax and Codie Taylor in a formidable front row. Meanwhile, hooker Asafo Aumua and powerhouse props Ofa Tu’ungafasi and Pasilio Tosi are on standby, ready to dive in and deliver.

In the engine room, Captain Scott Barrett teams up with the towering Tupou Vaa’i, with Patrick Tuipulotu on the bench, waiting for his moment. The loose forwards see Wallace Sititi sliding to blindside, while veteran Sam Cane holds down the openside flank, and Ardie Savea steps into the No. 8 position. Impact player Samipeni Finau is also primed for action!

With Cortez Ratima at halfback and Cam Roigard backing him up, Beauden Barrett will steer the ship at first five-eighth, while Jordie Barrett makes a thrilling comeback from injury at second five-eighth.

Fan favorites Mark Tele’a and Caleb Clarke will light up the wings, and Rieko Ioane and Will Jordan form a dynamic duo at centre and fullback. Anton Lienert-Brown and Damian McKenzie complete this all-star lineup from the bench, ready to turn up the heat.

Coach Robertson is all-in for Twickenham’s roaring crowd, saying, “Both teams have come a long way since July, and Twickenham has a buzz like no other. We’re geared up for a fierce battle—and with the Hillary Shield on the line, this team is ready to rise to the challenge.”

The stage is set, the stakes are high, and the All Blacks are determined to bring the Hillary Shield back home. Grab the popcorn and tune in, New Zealand—this is one showdown you won’t want to miss.
