    New All Blacks lock Fabian Holland is relishing being a winner on test debut


    The 22-year-old Highlanders lock played the full 80 minutes as they squeezed out a 31-27 win over France to open the test season in Dunedin. Holland says the step up to test rugby was noticeable.

    Meanwhile - coach Scott Robertson has confirmed the All Blacks will have to make at least one change for next week - with Sevu Reece ruled out after going off in the first minute.
