Coach Scott Robertson said on September 11 that Leroy Carter can be a "point of difference" on debut, after the explosive wing was named as one of five starting changes to the New Zealand side for the second Rugby Championship Test against South Africa.

WELLINGTON - Coach Scott Robertson said on September 11 that Leroy Carter can be a "point of difference" on debut, after the explosive wing was named as one of five starting changes to the New Zealand side for the second Rugby Championship Test against South Africa.

Robertson turned to a player he had previously called the fastest in New Zealand rugby for the September 13 rematch in Wellington, after winning last week's clash 24-17 in Auckland.

Fullback Damian McKenzie and scrum-half Noah Hotham are recalled in the backs while front-row forwards Tyrel Lomax and Samisoni Taukei'aho also return for the All Blacks.

Robertson said he had noticed Carter's ability during his three years representing the All Blacks Sevens team, culminating in an appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
