'No better man': All Blacks assistant coach on Sam Cane's return to the squad

There's two key starting changes to the All Blacks side set to face the Springboks in Johannesburg on Sunday.

Sam Cane starts his first test since last year’s World Cup final - a match in which he was sent off against the same opposition.

A thumb injury to Dalton Papali’i means the former captain is elevated from the reserves.

All Blacks assistant coach Jason Holland says Sam Cane's been training hard over the last couple of weeks.

"He's been looking really sharp for the last couple of weeks in training - there's no better man to have in your group when you're going to Ellis Park."
