Written off, called out, now back— Kirifi gets his shot at All Blacks redemption

Du'Plessis Kirifi has secured a spot on the bench for the All Blacks in their upcoming match against the Wallabies. This development follows a period where his prospects for returning to the national team were viewed as bleak.

The selection marks a notable turnaround for Kirifi, who transitions from being written off and called out to earning a fresh opportunity for redemption within the squad.
