All Blacks: Cory Jane returns for Dunedin test

Cory Jane has returned to the All Blacks after recovering from a long-term knee injury and was named today in Steve Hansen's 29-strong squad for the third Bledisloe Cu p test of the year against Australia in Dunedin next Saturday.

Jane, who is capable of playing either wing or fullback, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in February and after only two appearances for Wellington in the ITM Cup recently he has been whisked straight back in to the national side.

In the absence of Conrad Smith, who has gone on an extended break, Francis Saili has also re-joined the side, while prop Ben Afeaki has been named as an insurance policy for the front-row.   

The All Blacks assemble in Dunedin on Tuesday for the dead-rubber encounter.

All Blacks squad for their test against Australia in Dunedin next Saturday:Dane Coles, Andrew Hore, Keven Mealamu, Ben Afeaki, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Ben Franks, Tony Woodcock, Brodie Retallick, Jeremy Thrush, Samuel Whitelock, Sam Cane, Steven Luatua, Richie McCaw, Liam Messam, Kieran Read, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Aaron Smith, Piri Weepu, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Cruden, Tom Taylor, Ma'a Nonu, Francis Saili, Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Charles Piutau, Julian Savea, Ben Smith.

We had to use our B team against the Bocks at Ellis Park what with Carter, Luke Romano (one or our top locks) and playing our third string 10 (see avatar picture to jog you  memory)

Good to see at least one  of our top players coming back.

Well nice to have Carol Jane back as rugby can do with some glamour JW.
I appreciate your hoping that that wee romano might make a difference but I am afraid to say retardlick and whitlesslock are unfortunately the best you have. Cant see a solution really unless the likes of Bekker and Etzebeth etc immigrate to NZ.
Carter is a spent force and you will have to somehow make do with the crude. Beau is a fragile lad and will shatter some time in the future. Maybe try fat boy weepu?
Now that oak eats a mean boil if you ask me! If you want to play good rugby stay clear of these whahines.

 Beeno: your Bok boys have been at the gluttony table too long  so while our great players are returning to the fold your boys are getting slower and slower, lol 
The future looks very bright indeed for the RWC champions, Cloudy is preparing some new recipies & this will only increase the pace of the Bok demise. Our master plan is working splendidly.

Fry bread and boils ups will surely lead to obesity! Like that new 130 lump of lard you had playing for you whom Beast gave a worms eye view of the turf.Maybe the boil ups are okay (reserve my opinion till I know what goes into one!) but not the fry bread for sure! Saffa Irene of course is now nz womens netball team number one player. Can the abs use her? 
JW please read the article I posted re the rise of the Boks and how kiwis should be worried.  It didnt after all get double posted so you would no doubt have missed the salient points. 
Where is saSUE?

Sasuke is preparing the next phase of our plan Beeno. Try & stay calm (I know rationale is too much to ask), lol
In truth we miss Sasuke San but I don't know what he is up to. Probably doing his analysis of the season & working out his fantasy rugby team. You need to sign up next time. It is a lot of fun & you would be a natural. 

 Bean-dip you know that a "beast" is what we called a big old steer after its been knocked on the head and hung up to cure ? Meat for the chopping block like all massively lumpen heifferbokalumps !That etlizabeth would be handy at a braii though ,if it rained everyone could shelter under what looks like the old Concordes droop snoot !

howdy peeps, spent the weekend with my dinky di in adelaide for her sisters wedding, i ate a shbit load of lamb and drank quantopius amounts of of ouzo, i remember taking many many many shots of ouzo, and the rest the rest is a a hazy blur,

but the real story of the thread is welcome back corey jane,
after ben smiths stellar season its very easy to forget about jabe, but the All Blacks and their fans know janes true value, theres a reason hes been the All Blacks incumbent 14 for as long as he has been.

love the look of this squad but i wish frank halai was there, he can have a julian save like impact if given half a chance IMO.

our next test after the wallabies is the cherry blossoms, so we need to play our best team possible no questions asked, we cant forget that the wallabies last year crashed our party when they ruined our 100% win record in 2013, and while the hogs breath living mascot mackenzie has proven to be a much easier beat then dingo deans, we must put our foot down on the wallabies jugular and crush it early.

funny that mackenzie hasnt been quite as lippy as he was before his first test aka hiding,

but the team i want to see play the wallbies this weekend is,,,
1 t woodcock, 2 a hore, 3 b afeaki, 4 b retallick, 5 s whitelock, 6 l messam, 7 R McCaw, 8 k read, 9 a smith, 10 a cruden, 11 j savea, 12 m nonu, 13 b smith, 14 c jane, 15 i dagg
16 k mealamu, 17 b franks, 18 c faumuina, 19 s luatua, 20 s cane, 21 t kerr barlow, 22 b barret, 23 c piutau

we lose snake and we gain jane, the class of our depth is what separates the All Blacks from the rest of the world, 

i wanna see 100% boys and im talking about both effort and winning percentage,

so good luck and,,,,
GO THE MIGHTY MIGHTY ALL BLACKS!!!

 Rise of the bok's what rise? Sure they are getting the processes right in all their skills, gameplan, set pieces e.t.c. And they are getting closer in the IRB standing's, but the bok's were still beat convincingly in the end. As for Barratt well break down over time haha, well he looked pretty good in that environment, yeah he's small but he's not that small. Some of you bok's think the best out of your team and that's great, but youv'e get to the result's to back these claim's up, to say the abs should be worried well if we can beat you in that intense environment I think the abs are doing something right, as for deph well nz has more depth in other key position's. 

Hold up guys, don't be mislead by beeno we may not have tubs of lard at our number 10 spot (like some teams) but Barrett is not fragile dwarf, lol

 

Facts:

Barrett is          1.87, 93 Kilos

Dan Carter        1.78, 93kilos.

 

So Barret is bigger than Dan - Dan has been around a few years.
