All Black team for the weekend V Ireland - Sonny Bill to the bench - not really surprised I think its due to respect to give nonu and smith starts - I would say Sonny Bill will play a full 2nd half though with prob Nonu coming off.
Hika Elliot keeps his place at hooker - he had a great game last weekend so good job to him for keeping his starting spot this weekend!!
Also Cory Jane back in the side - good to see!
