All Blacks side for 2nd Test named


All Blacks coach Graham Henry has made two changes to his team to face the Springboks in their second Tri-Nations clash in Durban on Saturday.

Jimmy Cowan and young tighthead prop Owen Franks return to the starting line-up.

The starting XV see two changes from the team which started the first Test last weekend with Franks coming in for tighthead prop Neemia Tialata - who sprained his right knee on the weekend - and Cowan replacing Brendon Leonard at scrumhalf.

John Afoa comes onto the bench.
