As the Wednesday announcement of the All Blacks Bledisloe Cup starting 22 approaches, few changes are expected.

For the test against South Africa, many observers thought that Alama Ieremia had been unlucky to be omitted so that Mark Robinson could be given a run alongside Pita Alatini. Ieremia has enjoyed a particularly good season, his strength in both attack and defence features of the All Black performance.

With news that Robinson is still struggling with the knee injury that has troubled him since Wayne Smith first announced his squad at the end of Super 12, there is expectation that Ieremia will be recalled to line up against the Wallabies in Wellington.
