Sam Whitelock impressed by 'confident' new All Black Josh Lord

Josh Lord is a potential All Blacks debutant against the USA on Sunday morning. Sam Whitelock is impressed by Lord's professionalism. Lord has only six Super Rugby caps under his belt. He was playing for the Chiefs seven months ago. Whitelsock and Lord travelled to the United States together last week. New Zealand took on the Eagles in Chicago in 2014. The All Black squad is still fresh after their tour of Australia. They will play the US on a relatively strong side. New Black players are returning from the break. All black captain Cane is unavailable through injury. Dane Coles and Shannon Frizell are also absent.
