Julian Savea’s All Black involvement has been restricted to promotional activities and the training field since his trouble under the high ball against Ireland.

The wing has not been required on the bench as utility as Tamati Ellison or Ben Smith have been picked to cover the outside backs’ duties.

However, the 22-year-old may get the nod when the All Blacks unveil their side tomorrow to host the Pumas.

Ma’a Nonu is expected at number 12 while Conrad Smith will return at centre after his eye surgery.

If that happens, Smith and Nonu will start their 36th test together in midfield after their first run in 2008 against Ireland.

Meanwhile, Juan Martin Hernandez will wear the No10 jumper for Argentina in the team named yesterday.

Hernandez missed Argentina’s 16-16 draw with South Africa with a groin injury but has recovered to replace Nicolas Sanchez.

The All Blacks take on Argentina at 7.35pm on Saturday.
