Dave Rennie's All Blacks squad lines up to face the Stormers
Dave Rennie has named his squad which will travel to Europe for the November internationals as part of the Rugby Nations Championship.
The All Blacks will face Scotland, Wales and England before a final round at Twickenham. The All Blacks are currently three wins from three in the competition and will look to finish top of the Southern Hemisphere table in a close competition with the Springboks, who have also won three from three. The opposition for the final round will be decided based on a teams finish after six games in their hemisphere table. The team in each hemisphere that finishes in the same position (ie. 3rd vs 3rd) will face off in the finals round.

Big calls
A lot of the difficult decisions were made due to the massive injury list that is unavailable for Dave Rennie. Some of the most interesting calls have come with how Rennie has labelled his team. Leicester Fainga’anuku has been named as a back-rower, while Beaden Barrett has been labelled as an outside back rather than a first-five option.
Sa’ula Ma’u and Josh Jacomb could both pick up their first All Blacks caps on the tour that will be four games long.
