NEW ZEALAND have recalled centre Waiter Little for next Saturday's second rugby Test against Scotland in Auckland.
The 26 year old North Harbour player replaces Waikato's Scott McLeod in the only change from the side that beat the Scots 62-31 in the first Test at Carisbrook, Dunedin on Saturday.
It will be Little's 37th test in an All Blacks career dating back to 1989, and will reunite him with his regular Test and provincial partner at centre Frank Bunce.
Little was ruled out of contention for the All Blacks opening Test of this year against Western Samoa nine days ago by a recurring hamstring strain.
The injury opened the door for the promising McLeod to play both that international and last Saturday's match.
Meanwhile, Scotland winger Derek Stark, centre Tony St anger and 21 year old prop Barry Stewart have the chance to press their claims for a Test place against Bay of Plenty in Rotorua tomorrow. Stark will play his first game since straining a hamstring in the match against Waikato.
On the other wing, Scotland give tour replacement Cameron Glasgow his first taste of action in New Zealand.
a Bay of Ploete well known to New Zealand provincial side, guided by All Blacks sevens coach - Gordon Tietjens, are past winners of the Bells Melrose Sevens.
