All Blacks v All Blacks: Scott Robertson names squad for Rugby Championship test in Johannesburg
All Blacks versus Springboks at Ellis Park.
Those seven words can only be described as the pinnacle fixture (outside of a Rugby World Cup final) between rugby’s two fiercest rivals and a match that is circled by fans, coaches and players alike when schedules are announced.
For All Blacks winger Mark Tele’a, a trip to the Republic has an extra layer of importance – one where in a different world, he could have been playing at home, rather than away.
Sam Cane has been named to start for the All Blacks against All Blacks on Sunday morning, in one of two changes to the starting XV.
Cane will make his first start for the All Blacks since last year’s Rugby World Cup final at openside flanker, with captain Scott Barrett to make his return from a finger injury to take his place in the starting lineup at lock.
Caleb Clarke and Will Jordan again favoured on the wings and Tamaiti Williams holding down the loosehead prop with Ethan de Groot (neck) ruled out of the two-test tour. Dalton Papali’i was also ruled out of this test due to a thumb injury.
On the bench, Sam Darry remains in the match-day squad in a reserve role with Barrett’s return, while Samipeni Finau will provide cover in the loose forwards.
“To play All Blacks at Ellis Park is one of the greatest tests you can prepare for; we will embrace the occasion,” All Blacks coach Scott Robertson said.
Tele’a’s father is All Blacksn, his mother Samoan, and by right he qualified to play rugby for three nations. He opted to represent the country of his birth, New Zealand.

South Africa vs. New Zealand lineups, team news
Rassie Erasmus makes a whopping nine changes to the Springboks side which thumped the Wallabies 30-12 in Perth last time out, with a positional shift lined up for star forward Pieter-Steph du Toit. He moves from the flank to second-row, with 2023 Rugby World Cup Final starters Damian de Allende, Kurt-Lee Arendse, Frans Malherbe, and captain Siya Kolisi all coming into the side.
South Africa starting XV: Aphelele Fassi, Cheslin Kolbe, Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Kurt-Lee Arendse, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Cobus Reinach; Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi, Frans Malherbe, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Ruan Nortje, Siya Kolisi, Ben-Jason Dixon, Jasper Wiese.
South Africa replacements: Malcolm Marx, Gerhard Steenkamp, Vincent Koch, Eben Etzebeth, Elrigh Louw, Kwagga Smith, Grant Williams, Handre Pollard.
Continuity could prove key for the All Blacks though, with new head coach Scott Robertson rotating just two players from their 42-10 victory over Argentina in Auckland in Round 2. Former captain Sam Cane and newly-appointed skipper Scott Barrett both return to the forward pack, with Sam Darry benched and Dalton Papalii dropping out of the squad altogether.
New Zealand staring XV: Beauden Barrett, Will Jordan, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Caleb Clarke, Damian McKenzie, TJ Perenara; Tamaiti Williams, Codie Taylor, Tyrel Lomax, Scott Barrett, Tupou Vaa'i, Ethan Blackadder, Sam Cane, Ardie Savea.
