"We have enjoyed fantastic support at home and away this year and acknowledge the thousands of Kiwis who we know will be setting alarms to watch from the other side of the world."
All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has named a 36-man squad for the upcoming Nations Championship fixtures against Scotland, Wales, and England, concluding with a finals match in London. Hooker Codie Taylor will captain the touring side in the United Kingdom, stepping in for Ardie Savea, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
The squad features the return of Richie Mo'unga from a calf injury, alongside recalls for Crusaders teammates Christian Lio-Willie and Leicester Fainga'anuku. Prop Saula Ma'u and Josh Jacomb are selected as potential debutants, while all three Barrett brothers are included despite a long injury list that features Samisoni Taukei'aho, Tyrel Lomax, and Caleb Clarke.
