Sam Whitelock, Israel Dagg return for New Zealand in second Wales Test

By , Reporter
New Zealand recall Sam Whitelock and Israel Dagg for the second Test against Wales in Wellington on Saturday.

New Zealand have made two changes to the side that defeated Wales in the first Test in Auckland last weekend.

World Cup-winning lock Sam Whitelock returns to the fore for the second Test in Wellington on Saturday, at the expense of the dropped Luke Romano.

The All Blacks have also opted to shuffle their back three, with Israel Dagg reinstated at full-back and Ben Smith moving to left wing, and with Julian Savea omitted.

Wales lost the first Test 39-21 and a much-changed team lost 40-7 to the Chiefs on Tuesday.
