Despite Will Jordan's star turn at right wing for 79 minutes of the opening test against France, the All Blacks have decided against repeating the dose in the second test. 

Jordan will start at fullback on Saturday in Wellington, with Reiko Ioane moving over to the left wing and Emoni Narawa replacing an injured Caleb Clarke on the right. 

ZB’s Voice of Rugby Elliott Smith caught up with Jordan when the team was announced earlier this week, discussing the line up changes, switching jersey numbers, and what the All Blacks are expecting from France in match two.
