Jerome Kaino to start at No.8 for New Zealand against England

Jerome Kaino will start at No.8 for the All Blacks on Saturday as they take on England in the first Test at the Eden Park.
The Blues back row gets the nod to replace Kieran Read who has not recovered from the concussion he suffered two months ago.
Despite making his return to competion only two weeks ago after two months on the sidelines, Aaron Cruden will lead the attack being preferred to Beauden Barrett at fly-half.
Julian Savea has failed to recover from an hamstring strain so he sits this one our with Cory Jane and Ben Smith on the wings.
On the bench, Patrick Tuipulotu, scrum-half TJ Perenara and Tongan-born Malakai Fekitoa could make their debut should they be required.
Head Coach Steve Hansen said: “I would firstly like to congratulate Jerome on his return to the Test side and also the three uncapped players who have been selected in the 23.
“We are really looking forward to this three-Test match Steinlager Series as it will allow us to immediately benchmark ourselves for the new season. It is the first time in our long history that we are playing a three-match Series against England and they are the perfect opponent for us at this time. We have a healthy respect for England and what they will bring to the contest. Our preparation, though limited by time, has been very good. We have concentrated on getting real clarity of our roles earlier in the week and will be looking to build the intensity levels as we get closer to game time.
“We will be looking, as always, to improve our game by increasing our accuracy and precision in all our tasks across the park. There is a strong desire in the group to keep improving the quality of our performances from the level they have been at. We are fully aware that if we don’t, we are vulnerable to those teams that have the same mindset of improvement.
“We see this Test match as one which will be very physical with lots of ball movement that will challenge both sides aerobically and mentally.”
