Corey Kellow (Crusaders), Devan Flanders (Hurricanes), Caleb Delaney (Hurricanes) and Simon Parker (Chiefs) have been named in the All Blacks XV squad, replacing Peter Lakai (All Blacks), Josh Lord (All Blacks), Emoni Narawa (injured) and Hoskins Sotutu (injured).

Outside back Ruben Love will also join the squad, which All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson says is to give him the chance of more game time when the All Blacks XV face Munster this weekend:

“We are keen to keep the momentum going for Ruben, following his impressive All Blacks debut against Japan,” said Robertson.

“This is one of the benefits of having both teams in the Northern Hemisphere at the same time; it creates more opportunities for a greater number of players to gain international experience and valuable game time.”

In addition, six of the All Blacks XV players who travelled with the All Blacks to Japan have re-joined squad in Ireland.
