by All Blacks coach Scott Robertson says that he will “trust” the young boys to complete a series -sweep against France after unveiling 10 changes in the start for the third and last test on Thursday.
Robertson remained loyal to his promise to give every suitable player in his first squad game and rolled the cube for the collision on Saturday in Hamilton.

A large number of players who were involved in the 43-17 second test win in Wellington last week was omitted, which found a rhythm after a TENSE Series Opener in Dunedin won 31-27.
Hooker Brodie McAlister is ready to give his test debut from the bank, while the full -back Ruben Love will start after making a lonely cap against Japan last year.
Love and McAlister belong to eight players who played no role in the first two tests against a weakened French squad, which most of their first players rest.
Only Wing Rieko Ioane is retained from the starting line of the past week.

Robertson acquired the call to have made only a few unnecessary changes during his first season last year.
However, after the series was sewn in, he wanted to take a step into the construction of the depth of players before the 2027 World Cup.
“If the opportunities appear, they cannot play them, they have to get them out there,” Robertson told reporters on Thursday.
“It is the ability to trust the young boys, make them successful and get rid of them.
“It was really important to us to look at this next team respectfully.
“Obviously, the French used many players and they are a violent opponent and they are a proud opponent and it will be a hell of a week.”

Robertson had a certain comfort that three of the advertised player prop Tyrel Lomax, Fly-Half Damian McKenzie and the midfield back Anton Lienert-Brown-Alle played more than 50 tests.
The instinctive playmaker McKenzie is one of the seven starters who play for the Super Rugby Team The Waikato Chiefs, whose home square is Hamilton.
McKenzie replaces 136-test veteran Bauden Barrett, who suffered a hand injury during training that requires a scan. Robertson said he believed that the injury was low.
Ardie Savea was appointed captain for a second game in a row in a row in a row, who injured a calf muscle in the first test.
