Rugby Union World Cup 2019

Barrett in for Cane at flanker for NZ. Thought to be to strengthen the lineout, but at what loss to the ruck? Interesting time to pick someone out of position for the first time.
 
Liam Williams out with an ankle injury, Halfpenny will come in.
Not the huge worry it might have been previously, Liam hasn't been in great form this World Cup

Hansen doesn't normally change his side to try to nullify the opposition, i think he could be feeling the pressure

Okay the Boks can not concede a penalty 60 yards from their try line, interesting.:-)
However after all the head injuries I'm sure he will see more than his fair share of high kicks. If our players run obstruction like England and New Zealand when the kicker chases a box kick we should be OK.

Personally I'm not happy with that change, but it could be a masterstroke. Just have to hope that Barrett doesn't get red or yellow carded. Still, who am I to argue with Hansen, probably the best coach in RU history.
