Hansen names All Black side to face Georgia

Hansen names All Black side to face Georgia
New Zealand coach Steve Hansen has named his team to face Georgia in the Pool C clash at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Friday.

Hansen has made 10 changes to the starting line-up that defeated Namibia on 24 September. 

This is two fewer than the 12 changes he made going into that match against Namibia.

Sam Whitelock, Jerome Kaino and Julian Savea will all be making a third start at Rugby World Cup 2015.

Back in the starting line-up is Daniel Carter, the all-time leading points scorer in test history on 1,532. 

Waisake Naholo will make his Rugby World Cup debut on the right wing. This leaves Liam Messam as the only player in the current All Blacks squad without any World Cup experience.
