The All Blacks open their end-of-year tour with a test against Eddie Jones’ Japan in Yokohama on what should be a great day for running rugby.

Scott Robertson has announced the changes for this one, so all eyes will be on the players hoping to force their way into the top team for the next three Tests.

Kick-off is at 6:50 p.m. NZT.
