Crooked Feed: Different look for All Blacks in Bledisloe opener

The Crooked Feed team are down a man today, and could the All Blacks be down a man on the bench come Saturday?

Ross Karl gives you the latest on the team from Sydney and the new-look bench they'll roll out against the Wallabies.

With injuries mounting in midfield, the All Blacks have opted not to give the starting pair of Ryan Crotty and Malakai Fekitoa any back-up on the bench.

A similar situation presents itself in the forwards, with no out-and-out lock named among the reserves.

Can't wait for the All Blacks? The Mitre 10 Cup gets underway tonight and it'll be the first chance to see the new rules in action. Not familiar with them? The Crooked Feed team have you covered.
