Former captain Sam Cane has returned to the All Blacks in the way he played much of the early part of his test career - via the bench.

Cane will back up the loose forwards in Saturday's rematch against Argentina from jersey 20 in his first test since last year's World Cup final.

There are four changes to the side that lost in Wellington - with Tamaiti Williams, Rieko Ioane, Caleb Clarke and Will Jordan all starting.

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.
