@Kirwan as in fuck all change really, aside from the obvious bolstering of the squad with big Shannon, is that the last we see of PGS in black?

Here is the All Blacks squad! Sam Cane retains the captain's armband.

So... in the end no obvious change at all after the Irish series, similar squad, Sam does stay, Foster stays... Assistants...?

KiwiMurph

De Groot in and Dickson as a travelling replacement player is the only good news?

Cane still captain?

All that build up to name nearly the same squad but including another criminal?

Kiwiwomble

Have to feel for PGS, dont get me wrong, was lucky to be there to start with...but i dont think he did a hell of a lot wrong in his limited time...and then not even in the squad

Ian Foster "I'm the All Blacks head coach and as the coach I've been through a busy week."

He says the All Blacks did not achieve what they needed to achieve against Ireland.

The bulk of the Steinlager series squad has been retained as the All Blacks set their sights on the Lipovitan-D Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup Tests.

The squad features the return of Highlanders forwards Ethan de Groot and Shannon Frizell, who have been selected in the full-time squad after providing injury cover during the Steinlager series.

With Angus Ta’avao, Brodie Retallick and Jack Goodhue making their way back from suspension and injury, the All Blacks selectors have called in temporary cover. Braydon Ennor, Tyrel Lomax and the uncapped Josh Dickson will join the squad for the South African leg of the tournament.

For anyone who hasn't noticed: Cane is still the captain.
