Jamie Joseph has continued to rotate his All Blacks<\/a> XV squad to give all players starting opportunities, with this weekend\u2019s clash the last of the tour for the Kiwi development squad.<\/p>\n

A Rugby World Cup-bound Uruguay<\/a> side awaits at Stade Raoul Barri\u00e8re, B\u00e9ziers, France, but the All Blacks XV<\/a> have named some capped talent of their own to extend their winning streak to seven.<\/p>\n

Dalton Papali\u2019i will again captain the team, this time with the No.8 on his back, joining Folau Fakatava<\/a> and Dallas McLeod<\/a> as the capped All Blacks in the starting XV.<\/p>\n

Josh Fusitu\u2019a, Bradley Slater<\/a>, and George Dyer<\/a> have been named to start in the front row, with locks Josh Beehre<\/a> and Caleb Delany<\/a> completing the tight five.<\/p>\n

TK Howden moves back to his more familiar No.6 jersey this week, after playing at lock for the first time since his high school days in his All Blacks XV debut against England<\/a> A last weekend. Fellow Highlanders<\/a> flanker Sean Withy<\/a> joins him on the openside flank while Papali\u2019i packs down at the back of the scrum.<\/p>\n

Fakatava joins Rivez Reihana<\/a> in the halves, with the playmaker set to link with a familiar, all-Crusaders<\/a> midfield in Dallas McLeod and Braydon Ennor. Etene Nanai-Seturo<\/a>, Chay Fihaki<\/a>, and Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens<\/a> form a lethal back three to complete the starting XV.<\/p>\n

On the bench, All Blacks rookie Brodie McAlister<\/a> is set to bring impact alongside Siale Lauaki<\/a>, Benet Kumeroa<\/a>, Devan Flanders<\/a>, and Kaylum Boshier<\/a> in the forwards. Xavier Roe<\/a>, Josh Jacomb<\/a>, and Daniel Rona<\/a> will also be on hand to provide energy off the pine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve coached against them [Uruguay] three times,\u201d All Blacks XV head coach Jamie Joseph<\/a> said. \u201c[They bring] Passion, South American emotion, a very passionate team, wear their hearts on their sleeves and play in the same kind of way, very abrasive on the defence side of things and go hard at the breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uruguay are on the rise in the world rankings, currently sitting 15th after wins against Romania<\/a> and Portugal<\/a> this season, while a defeat to Argentina<\/a> is sure to have made them more battle-hardened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do a lot of mauling, love the scrum. That\u2019s kind of what you would say is the traditional kind of game from the South Americans. We\u2019re expecting a real gritty game and no doubt they\u2019ll get into us up front and try to put us under pressure there. We\u2019ve just got to make sure that we can weather the storm.\u201d<\/p>\n
