WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Leroy Carter, a winger described by head coach Scott Robertson as “probably the fastest in New Zealand,” has been selected to make his All Blacks debut Saturday in the second Rugby Championship test against South Africa.
Carter was selected Thursday in a starting lineup that features five changes from the first test at Auckland, where New Zealand won 24-17 .
Two changes were necessitated by injuries to hooker Codie Taylor and winger Emoni Narawa. Samisoni Taukei'aho will start at hooker and Brodie McAlister comes onto the bench for his second test.
Narawa was injured in the sixth minute of last weekend's test after which Damian McKenzie came off the bench to play at fullback and Will Jordan moved to the right wing. McKenzie will start along with Jordan,
