The All Blacks selectors have tried to balance their latest squad with experience and form
3 July 2019
Newcomers Braydon Ennor, Sevu Reece, Josh Ioane and Luke Jacobson and Brad Weber have all forced their way into the squad purely through form.
Players such as Sonny Bill Williams, Owen Franks and Joe Moody, who have been injured most of the Super Rugby season, have retained their spots.
Selector Grant Fox highlighted the selections of Dan Carter and Richie McCaw in 2015 as an example of why they don't pick on form alone.
He says those two showed just how critical experience is, but they also didn't want to avoid picking youthful players with form who are just itching to go.
