STEVE Hansen has named four new caps in a 39-man squad for the Rugby Championship but there is no place for veteran centre Ma’a Nonu.
Crusaders backs Sevu Reece and Braydon Ennor, Chiefs loose forward Luke Jacobson and Highlanders fly-half Josh Ioane have been named for the first time, with the All Blacks’ first assignment against Argentina on July 21.
Chiefs flanker Jacobson is the major bolter in the squad. Chiefs prop Atu Moli and Hurricanes hooker Asafo Aumua, who have previously been named but are uncapped, are now given a chance to make their Test debuts.
A standout season...
