Heavyweights.

New Zealand and South Africa have named their teams for this weekend’s huge Rugby World Cup clash between the two sides in Japan.

All Blacks boss Steve Hansen has once again opted to go with Beauden Barrett at fullback with Richie Mo’unga at ten, while there’s no room for Sonny Bill Williams or Ben Smith in the starting line-up.

Sevu Reece will make his World Cup debut on the right wing for New Zealand with George Bridge on the left.

Meanwhile Siya Kolisi will captain a very strong Springboks line-up that contains the likes of Willie le Roux, Cheslin Kolbe, Faf de Klerk, Eben Etzebeth, Malcolm Marx and Duane Vermeulen.
