McMillan gives same 23 players the chance to bounce back against Fiji

New Zealand Maori rugby coach Clayton McMillan has given the same 23 players the chance to bounce back this weekend against Fiji, but has made several tweaks to the run‑on side, including the benching of All Blacks hopefuls Akira Ioane and Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi.

He has made five personnel changes to his starting lineup for Saturday night's revenge match against Fiji in Rotorua.

Bryn Hall, Alex Nankivell, Jordan Hyland, and Pari Pari Parkinson will all run on for the Maori All Blacks this week.

Isaia Walker-Leawere will start from the bench.

Fiji play the Maori All Blacks at 7.35pm on Saturday in Rotorua.
