New Zealand captain Scott Barrett has returned to lead the team against England on Saturday, after a deep gash to his knee has restricted him to a paltry two minutes of action on the All Blacks November tour.
Barrett had to go off early in New Zealands 26-13 win over Ireland in Chicago on November 1 and missed last weekends narrow victory over Scotland at Murrayfield.
Barretts return means promising lock Josh Lord loses his place despite impressive performances against both the Irish and Scotland.
