Who made Dave Rennie’s 34-man All Blacks squad for the Bledisloe Cup?
Dave Rennie has named his thirty-four man squad for the upcoming Blitterslow Cup series. You can see it down here, but we'll run through it for you now. First name, captaining the side, continuing the role he took on in Baltimore, Cody Taylor. Uh he's joined by Asafa Amor and Summersoni Takuyah who are the hookers. That's really no surprise, really. The surprises don't really keep coming in the props. Ethan DeGroot, George Bowers, Xavier Numeer, Tyrell Lomax, Fletcher Newell, and Pasaleo Tossi uh as well.
Why are Scott Barrett’s return and Sam Darry’s omission key All Blacks selection stories?
Welcome back, Scott Barrett, back into the locking group. This is where the changes start to happen. Patrick Tuipelotu out injured and Sam Derry overlooked for that one. Josh Lord, Fabian Holland, Tubavay are the locking rotation. for these two tests. Now, here is where it gets interesting. Into the loose Fords. Another recall.
Can Shannon Frizell and the returning loose forwards strengthen the All Blacks pack?
Shannon Frizzell back for his first test match action, presumably, uh, since the 2023 World Cup. Simon Parker recalled as well. Interesting one there, because you might have thought it might have come down to either him or Frizzel, but they're both There, welcome back, Anton Signer, uh as well, after his tour was cut short uh with that foot ailment that he had. And Ethan Blackadder, Peter Luckeye, and Wallace Satidi, Ardi Sevier obviously still injured there. So there's your loose forwards. Plenty to talk about there.
Which halfbacks, first-five options and outside backs made the All Blacks squad?
Halfbacks, no surprises. Cameron Regard, Cortez Ratima, and Kyle Preston. No. Hotham joined the touring squad. He drops uh back out again. First fives, Richie Moonga, no surprise there. Josh Jacob as well, because Ruben Love is out injured, according to the report that we have. So, yes. Uh bad luck there for Ruben Love. Richie Mowanger back into starting for the All Blacks, which we kind of all thought would happen when he announced he was. Would be returning to the squad. Uh returning to New Zealand rugby uh last year in the midfield. Kuntipaya has recovered from the injury he suffered uh on the tour. He's back in Geordie Barrett, Timothy Tavatavanawa makes the cut, and Rico Yuani uh as well. So interesting uh midfield grouping there.
And then the outside backs. Kind of no surprise to see Fehe Funning Yanovo uh in there after the news that he has re-signed with New Zealand rugby uh till next year, till after the World Cup, at least deferring his deal with Newcastle Red Bulls. Uh Leroy Carter, Josh Morby, Will Jordan, Damien McKenzie, and a guy, there was a question mark over Bowdoin Barrett. His test career seemingly not over. Yet, although how much role he has to play in these two tests is yet to be seen. Dave Rennie, obviously, really big fan of having Bowden Barrett around the group to mentor guys, presumably guys like Josh Jacob, in there as well. So, yeah, it's uh it's gonna be interesting to see what sort of uh role Bowden Barrett has to play.
Which injuries are affecting the All Blacks ahead of the Bledisloe Cup?
Now, just going through that injury load. Again, Reuben Love listed with an ankle injury. Patrick Tupelodo out with a calf injury. Artie Severe's shoulder, which was injured in the third test. Luke Jacobson's elbow complaint. Anton Leonard Brown with a knee injury.
