    Just the one minor surprise in the All Blacks squad for the 2018 Rugby Championship

    Just the one minor surprise in the All Blacks squad for the 2018 Rugby Championship


    Jackson Hemopo has ousted Vaea Fifita as the loose forward that provides lock
    cover.

    Hemopo made his test debut against France in Dunedin after Fifita suffered a
    concussion a week earlier.

    Dane Coles is back in the squad though unlikely to play until late
    September/early October, with Liam Coltman providing cover at hooker until then.

    Ngani Laumape is unlucky to miss out, though he'll be with the squad as
    injury cover until Sonny Bill Williams is fit.

    Kieran Read returns to captain the side, while an injured Jordan Taufua and
    Hurricanes tighthead Jeff Toomaga-Allen the other names missing from June squad.
