Nehe Milner-Skudder back for New Zealand-Argentina
Wednesday 6 September 2017 19:10, UK
Nehe Milner-Skudder will make his New Zealand return against Argentina in Saturday's Rugby Championship game.
The winger's previous Test appearance came in the 2015 World Cup final, since when shoulder and foot injuries have restricted his playing time.
Milner-Skudder's inclusion is one of several changes to the side that started last month's defeat of Australia in Dunedin.

Israel Dagg starts on the other wing, while Anton Lienert-Brown is named at centre and TJ Perenara gets a first start at scrum-half.
There is another debutant in the pack as Vaea Fifita starts at blindside flanker, Ardie Savea starts on the other side of the scrum and Luke Romano partners Brodie Retallick in the second row.
The All Blacks head into Saturday's game at the Yarrow Stadium on the back of successive wins against the Aussies.
Argentina are yet to win a point having lost twice to South Africa.
