LONDON (AP) — Midfielder Jordie Barrett has returned from a knee injury in the New Zealand lineup to play England at Twickenham this weekend.
Barrett was hurt in a tackle against Australia on Sept. 21 and missed their last two tests, the Rugby Championship-closing win against the Wallabies a week later and the autumn tour opener against Japan in Yokohama last weekend, when the All Blacks gave reserve players a run and debuted two.
The All Blacks have returned to their tried and trusted lineup for Saturday's test, including captain Scott Barrett, Ardie Savea, Tyrel Lomax, Codie Taylor, Caleb Clarke and Will Jordan.
Only three starters remain from the side which whipped Japan 64-19.
Jordie Barrett will slot in outside older brother Beauden, who last month was restored to flyhalf for the first time in almost two years. Damian McKenzie was back in the reserves.
Cortez Ratima was at scrumhalf while Cam Roigard was his backup for his biggest match since the Rugby World Cup, following a seven-month layoff from a knee injury this year.
“While we have met England twice this year already, four months is a long time in rugby and we know that both teams are different to the ones that met in New Zealand in July,” coach Scott Robertson said on Thursday.
New Zealand won both home tests, 16-15 in Dunedin and 24-17 in Auckland.
New Zealand: Will Jordan, Mark Tele'a, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Caleb Clarke, Beauden Barrett, Cortez Ratima; Ardie Savea, Sam Cane, Wallace Sititi, Tupou Vaa'i, Scott Barrett (captain), Tyrel Lomax, Codie Taylor, Tamaiti Williams. Reserves: Asafo Aumua, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Pasilio Tosi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Samipeni Finau, Cam Roigard, Anton Lienert-Brown, Damian McKenzie.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rowdy crowds took to the streets in Los Angeles after the Dodgers won the World Series, setting a bus on fire, breaking into stores and setting off firecrackers. A dozen arrests were reported by police early Thursday.
Video showed some people throwing objects at police in Los Angeles as sirens blared and officers told them to leave the area after the Dodgers defeated the Yankees in Game 5 in New York.
There were some “unruly, and at times violent and hostile celebrations,” with several acts of vandalism, including the burning of a Metropolitan Transit Authority bus, Los Angeles police spokesperson Officer Drake Madison said in an email. Arrests were on charges such as failure to disperse, receiving stolen property or commercial burglary, Madison said.
There were also several instances of street takeovers downtown and police used less-lethal munitions to control several hostile and violent crowds, Madison said. In the coming days, detectives will attempt to identify those responsible for crimes, he said.
Other video showed revelers standing on top of a bus waving a Dodgers banner and other people leaving a boarded-up store with sneakers. It wasn’t known if anyone was hurt.
An email was sent to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority.
The Dodgers plan to commemorate their World Series championship on Friday with a downtown parade followed by a celebration at Dodger Stadium. The team said Wednesday that because of logistics, traffic and timing, fans won’t be able to attend both events.
