Latham will be on the bench for the Wallabies
Here are the starting line ups for this weekends Tri Nations and Bledisloe Cup decider.
The Wallabies will have Chris Latham on the bench for them after he has made a speedy recovery from a knee injury. Former Wallabies legend Tim Horan has spoken out about brining Latham back so quickly. Stirling Mortlock who was crucial to the win over the All Blacks in the last rugby match exploited Luke McAlister’s inexperience in the 13 jersey. This weekend we will have to see how he deals with Isaia Toeava.

Graham Henry is sticking to his rotation policy for this weekends clash against the wallabies. Three changes have been made to the starting line up from last week. Henry has said that this rotation policy will benefit the team for the Rugby World Cup later this year. Henry explained that he cannot afford to have players jump into the starting line up after not having played for 3 months. This Saturday we will get to know the real depth of the All Black squad.
