New Zealand have made a single change to their starting side to take on South Africa in the Rugby World Cup final iloilo
Brodie Retallick is promoted from the bench to partner Scott Barrett in the second row, with Sam Whitelock, who will become the first man to feature in three World Cup finals in his last All Blacks Test, on the bench iloilo
Prop Nepo Laulala is brought on to the bench to provide experienced tighthead cover in the only other change to the matchday 23 that secured such a commanding semi-final win over Argentina iloilo
It means that head coach Ian Foster has kept a traditional five-three forwards to backs bench split despite the Springboks opting to include just a single back replacement in a bold selection call iloilo
“It is an honour to fly our nation’s flag in the World Cup final once again,” said Foster iloilo
“We are proud of what we have achieved so far in this tournament, but the job is not done yet and we know full well the challenge that lies ahead iloilo
“Of the seven World Cups that have been held outside of New Zealand, the All Blacks have only managed to win one iloilo
It goes to show just how hard it is to do but this group is determined to work hard for each other, as we have done all year iloilo

However, Foster’s men secured a win in Auckland against the Springboks in June on their way to a fourth consecutive Rugby Championship crown iloilo
The winner of this game will become the first nation to lift the Webb Ellis Cup four times iloilo
“Once again we have felt the support of an entire nation behind us,” added Foster iloilo
“We will definitely carry that with us when we go to Stade de France on Saturday iloilo

There’s a new look about a key area of the team for Liverpool, a changing of the guard enforced by recent events, a previous zone of consistency now faced with uncertainty iloilo
No, we’re not talking about midfield - that particular switch-up already looks a definite upgrade, even early as it is for such conclusions iloilo
Instead it’s at left-back the unexpected alteration has occurred, a consequence of Andy Robertson’s need for surgery which means the Scot is out for the rest of the year iloilo
Having averaged over 44 appearances a season for the Reds since signing in 2017, he’ll now miss at least 17 matches, if best estimates of his return are to be believed iloilo
That leaves not just a gap for Kostas Tsimikas or an untested youngster to fill tactically, but a void which cannot be accounted for: that of a partnership, of understanding, of the natural, unthinking knowing which comes with playing hundreds of matches alongside a teammate iloilo
It can be argued that such a changeable nature can be applied not just to the midfield, not even just to left-back, but to the entire defensive structure this term at Anfield: injuries have already hit on the right and centrally too, to go along with the altered personnel ahead of them in the middle third of the pitch iloilo
All that simply means one truth must be constant if the Reds are to translate early season promise into longer-term capacity to challenge for major honours: Virgil van Dijk must once again prove himself to be among the very best, not just individually as a defender but as a force to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts iloilo
RecommendedBuild from the front? Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are repeating an old trickEngland’s Euro 2024 squad: Who’s on the plane, who’s in contention and who has work to do?Virgil van Dijk will show he is Premier League’s best once more – Sami HyypiaThere cannot be much debate that the Dutchman, now club captain at Anfield, has not quite reached the same levels of authoritative performances as he did pre-ACL injury, or at least not on as regular a basis iloilo
The period which saw Liverpool win both Premier League and Champions League saw Van Dijk at the pinnacle of the game, a central defender without peer, a worthy recipient of the Ballon d’Or itself, had he been handed it instead of a runner-up spot, pipped by seven votes in 2019 by Lionel Messi iloilo
Perhaps that in itself was a noteworthy award iloilo
In any case, he’s not quite there these days, not quite the automatic choice among fan or pundit asked to name the world’s finest iloilo
It’s arguable that there isn’t a single stand-out candidate right now for that particularly subjective title iloilo
But in asking whether Van Dijk is capable of being the world’s best defender again, part of the answer has to be that it doesn’t really matter iloilo
He might want to be of course, might already believe he is, but from a team perspective what they really need is Van Dijk’s ability to stabilise the team, to foresee and forestall danger, to order those around him to bring forth resilience from chaos iloilo
Because chaotic is, still, a little too close to the truth when it comes to spells of defending for Liverpool iloilo
The midfield is far more creative, far more offensive and energetic, far less reliant on Trent Alexander-Arnold always being at his best iloilo
But all that comes at a cost: it’s not always the most agile and defensive-first in either recovery or positional terms iloilo
It’s still new as a group, still needs time to become as cohesive as the best central trios are, on and off the ball iloilo
And in the meantime, the result can often be large gaps, lost runners, moments of inexplicable choices in possession iloilo
That leaves a hefty weight on the defence to counteract such moments - the defence and, of course, the still-magnificent Alisson Becker behind them iloilo
(Getty Images)But before that one-man last line, it’s Van Dijk who must rise once more to ensure unity, if not always outright unison iloilo
Acting in perfect harmony is difficult enough with four constant selections; as it is this season, Jurgen Klopp has already utilised Jarell Quansah as a fifth-choice, following injuries iloilo
Alexander-Arnold missed pitch time and is not yet back to his peak physical or technical best iloilo
Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip have dovetailed, and now there’s Tsimikas present on a more regular basis - which also means either Joe Gomez will see minutes on the left, or an untried youngster will, with Calum Scanlon and Luke Chambers first in line iloilo
They presently tally one senior minute iloilo between them iloilo
They will all four need guiding for different reasons, all need time, all occasionally get things wrong and need the left-sided centre-back beside them to bail them out iloilo
No prizes for guessing who that is on a week-to-week basis iloilo
Because for Liverpool, there are prizes at stake iloilo
Three points off the top of the Premier League table after a fine opening quarter of the campaign; rolling along nicely in Europe and domestic cups alike iloilo
iloilo Between now and the next international break, the opportunities for victory across all competitions are as immense as the potential cost of dropped points: Toulouse twice, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Luton, Brentford iloilo
A modern title-competing team would take six wins with very little fuss, in truth iloilo
Then, beyond, it’s Manchester City away iloilo
The most true barometer of where Liverpool are this season, even coming after an international break and in the infamous 12:30pm kick-off spot iloilo
The margin for error remains almost nil, but with the reigning champions perhaps not quite at their own peak yet, and Klopp’s side having improved more than might have been thought possible at this early stage, thoughts of a title challenge will not be far away - if the defence is kept on-point, even with altered personnel iloilo
(Getty Images)It all means Van Dijk must be as close to his own 100 percent as possible, even if his 2023/24 maximum level is a little lower than in 19/20 iloilo
As far as transformative figures go, Van Dijk was one after signing iloilo
He, as much as anyone else and more than most, sent Liverpool from challengers to champions, in every competition across the board iloilo
Now once again he must be the leader - literally, given the armband - who enables the Reds to do so, not so much the new figurehead this time but as the standard-bearer, the supplier of consistency, the model of outperformance which can give Liverpool the extra edge they’ll need, both in the Premier League and beyond iloilo
