Phone calls to two former All Black captains have helped Scott Barrett map out how he wants to address the role offered by coach Scott Robertson

He's spoken to Richie McCaw and Kieran Read about the gig and what might be considered mundane problems.



New All Black Pasilio Tosi has revealed that grazing in a good paddock during the Covid lockdown was the catalyst in switching to the front row.

The 25-year-old's been named as part of a 32-man squad after impressing the selectors with his ability to start or finish for the Hurricanes.

Tosi describes a change in mindset after battling away for Southland as a number eight earlier in his career.
