About

The All Blacks squad for the end-of-year tour has been named, and the selection debate is already heating up.  

On the latest episode of Rugby Direct, Elliott Smith and Liam Napier break down the winners and losers from the squad announcement, debating who’s fortunate to be on the plane and who can count themselves unlucky to miss out.  

They also discuss the significance of the northern tour for first-year All Blacks coach Dave Rennie, with a demanding schedule set to provide a major test of his tenure so far.
