All Blacks squad named for Nations Championship

Overview

The All Blacks have named their 36-man squad for the upcoming Nations Championship series in the Northern Hemisphere, where they will face Scotland, Wales, and England.

Head coach Dave Rennie has bolstered the roster with the return of several players previously managing injuries, including Jordie Barrett and Richie Mo'unga. Anton Lienert-Brown also returns to the squad. The selection features two uncapped players: prop Saula Ma’u and flyhalf Josh Jacomb. In a notable tactical shift, Leicester Fainga'anuku has been transitioned from a back to a loose forward position.

This announcement follows a period of significant squad depth concerns involving multiple key players, including Tyrel Lomax, Samisoni Taukei’aho, Shannon Frizell, Ardie Savea, Luke Jacobson, and Caleb Clarke.
