All Black ace Carter returns against England

All Black playmaker Dan Carter was included in a near full-strength New Zealand side unveiled by coach Graham Henry here on Wednesday for this weekend's Twickenham encounter against England.

The star fly-half was banned from Saturday's 20-6 win away to Italy in Milan while serving a one-week suspension for a high tackle on Wales replacement scrum-half Martin Roberts during the All Blacks' 19-12 win in Cardiff on November 7.

Carter, who has been struggling with a calf injury, may well have been rested from the Italy game in any event.

But now, with the benefit of a week's break, he is ready to pit his wits against England No 10 Jonny Wilkinson as the world's two best current stand-offs go head-to-head.

First choice right wing Cory Jane and leading tighthead prop Neemia Tialata, the only two All Blacks to have so far played all three Tests on a tour that began with a Bledisloe Cup win over Australia in Tokyo, were rested by Henry.

Tialata and Jane both revealed on Tuesday, on the social networking site Twitter, that they were being given a break by former Wales coach Henry, long before the official team announcement.

They were replaced by 20-year-old Zac Guildford, winning only his second cap and 21-year-old Owen Franks, gaining his eighth, respectively.

New Zealand captain and stand-out openside flanker Richie McCaw, in line to become the first man to win the IRB player of the year award twice, returned to lead the team after not taking the field against Italy.

Wing Sitiveni Sivivatu and lock Tom Donnelly were the only two survivors from the New Zealand team that won at the San Siro stadium.

On the bench hooker Corey Flynn, suffering with a hamstring strain, has been bracketed alongside Aled de Malmanche, who arrived in London on Wednesday after being summoned from holiday in Bali.

New Zealand have won their last seven Tests against England, who last weekend struggled to beat Argentina 16-9.

But Henry, whose side posted a New Zealand Twickenham record score of 32-6 in last year's corresponding fixture, said: "It doesn't get much bigger than England at Twickenham.

"It will be another fantastic challenge for the All Blacks. We are focused on preparing well and look forward to playing a determined England side."

After this weekend's match, New Zealand travel to Marseille to play a France side fresh from a win over world champions South Africa before returning to London to face the invitational Barbarians team.
