All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has named a 36-man squad for the Northern Hemisphere Nations Championship Tests, including two uncapped players and the return of several injured players. Planet Rugby highlights that Rennie appears to make specific selections while also turning to a mix of established options and new faces.
The squad is also framed by Stuff.co.nz live-chat and tour-squad coverage, which foreground details of who is in the group and the leadership setup. Across the reporting, Codie Taylor is named as captain, and the squad selection is presented as a mix of emerging talent and injury-recovery reintegration, with the uncapped players being prominent points of discussion.
While Planet Rugby uses a “winners and losers” approach and links selections to broader opposition dynamics, Stuff’s coverage focuses more directly on squad composition and confirmed roles, including the number of injury returns and the presence of uncapped players.
