Newshub rugby editor Ross Karl returns from Japan on paternity leave and analyses the fallout from the All Blacks' big win over Canada - their second of World Cup pool play.

In particular, how does Rieko Ioane look, as he bids to reclaim his starting wing spot for the big games?

Who exactly is New Zealand's best midfield combination and when can we expect Brodie Retallick back from injury?
