All Blacks name training squad for England Series

Steve Hansen has named a 35-man training squad ahead of the three-Test Series against England next month.
The All Blacks head coach called up five uncapped players in hookers Nathan Harris and Liam Coltman, lock Patrick Tuipulotu, half-back TJ Perenara and centre Malakai Fekitoa.
Dan Carter is not included as he is on sabbatical leave until the Rugby Championship but Aaron Cruden is named in the squad despite missing the last few games with a broken thumb.
The players will attend two three-day training camps in Christchurch from May 18-20 and Wellington from May 25-27.
Hansen said: ”With players coming from five different Super Rugby teams, it’s important that we get aligned on our game plans and skill sets.
“The challenge the English bring means we will need to be at our very best as quickly as possible. The camps also give the All Blacks Management time to meet and learn in greater details about some of the younger players who have been named.”
The official 31-man squad for the series will be named in Auckland on June 1.
