All Blacks v Scotland: Five changes to Dave Rennie’s team

All Blacks coach Dave Rennie has selected his strongest available side, making five squad changes ahead of Sunday's test against Scotland at Murrayfield. The team aims to maintain an undefeated 33-test historical record against Scotland while pushing for a place in the Nations Championship final. Second-five Jordie Barrett, Ethan de Groot, Asafo Aumua, and Anton Segner return from injury, while Christian Lio-Willie is named on the bench for his first appearance of the season.

New Zealand enters the match missing nine injured squad members, including Ardie Savea, Luke Jacobson, Caleb Clarke, Ruben Love, and Tyrel Lomax for the rest of the year. The All Blacks will wear white jerseys with a poppy for Armistice Day and black armbands honoring head of security Logan Cadwallader, who died in Edinburgh earlier in the week.
