    @Mr-Fish said in All Blacks v Japan:

    I don't think the top 23 will travel directly to England - maybe a dozen or so players. Some others need minutes before taking on England.

    I'm expecting a line-up of...

    1 Ofa Tu'ungafasi
    2 Asafo Aumua**
    3 Pasilio Tosi
    4 Patrick Tuipulotu
    5 Sam Darry
    6 Ethan Blackadder**
    7 Dalton Papali'i
    8 Luke Jacobson
    9 Cam Roigard**
    10 Damian McKenzie**
    11 Mark Tele'a
    12 Jordie Barrett**
    13 Billy Proctor
    14 (Emoni Narawa)
    15 Ruben Love

    16 George Bell
    17 (George Bower)
    18 Fletcher Newell**
    19 (Josh Lord)
    20 Samipeni Finau
    21 TJ Perenara
    22 Stephen Perofeta
    23 David Havili

    () - ABs XV additions
    ** - top 23 players

    That I reckon is a closer guess

    @booboo It will be good enough to beat Japan and meanwhile in the top 23 will be in Europe acclimatising to the interesting weather we've been having. ☔️

    I think BB will be in the 23, either at fullback or on the bench.

    I imagine McKenzie will be back at 10 and suspect will need some decent minutes there before the England game.

    How do you acclimatise when it changes every half hour at the moment?

    Update to All Blacks squad for Japan and Northern Tour

    Update to All Blacks squad for Japan and Northern Tour

    The All Blacks have made three injury-enforced changes to the squad for the 2024 Lipovitan-D Challenge Cup match against Japan and the Northern Tour.

    Ethan Blackadder (calf), Luke Jacobson (fractured thumb) and Dalton Papali'i (upper hamstring) will not be available to travel with the squad on Thursday due to injury. That has created an opportunity for 21 year old Hurricanes and Wellington loose forward Peter Lakai, and 23 year old Chiefs and Taranaki lock Josh Lord to come into the squad.

    Christian Lio-Willie (Loose forward / 26 / Crusaders / Otago)
    Oliver Haig (Loose forward / 22 / Highlanders / Otago)

    So all guys that aren't involved in NPC finals. Great news.

    Thank goodness. As much as Lakai deserves an AB cap I'd have been gutted if he was taken out of the Lions. He'll get plenty of caps in future.

    Stoked for Lakai, but that will hurt the Lions big time.

    Would be cool if he gets the start against Japan.

    We will definitely need one of Ropeti or Shields to come back now. I feel like Halalilo is too small to be an 8.

    Update: will move this over to the match thread.

    @Canes4life Narawa isn't one of the players called up I don't believe.

    I wonder if Caleb Clarke might play.

    Have updated above and shifted Mark Telea to the right wing.

    Interesting we don't yet know who's heading straight to England - that will certainly make thins clearer about who's going to play in Japan.
