Posted by Hamish McBrearty on May 18th, 2007
The 30-man All Blacks Squad for the two international series has just been announced.
The squad is:
Dan Carter - Canterbury
Jerry Collins - Wellington
Nick Evans - Otago
Troy Flavell - Auckland
Carl Hayman - Otago
Andrew Hore - Taranaki
Doug Howlett - Auckland
Chris Jack - Tasman
Byron Kelleher - Waikato
Brendon Leonard - Waikato
Luke McAlister - North Harbour
Richie McCaw - Canterbury (Captain)
Leon MacDonald - Canterbury
Chris Masoe - Wellington
Aaron Mauger - Canterbury
Keven Mealamu - Auckland
Malili Muliaina - Waikato
Anton Oliver - Otago
Keith Robinson - Waikato
Josevata Rokocoko - Auckland
John Schwalger - Wellington
Sitiveni Sivivatu - Waikato
Conrad Smith - Wellington
Rodney So’oialo - Wellington
Reuben Thorne - Canterbury
Neemia Tialata - Wellington
Isaia Toeava - Auckland
Piri Weepu - Wellington
Ali Williams - Auckland
Tony Woodcock - North Harbour
The big surprise in this squad is the inclusion of Brendon Leonard. Leonard had a fantastic Super 14 for the Chiefs, playing off the bench behind fellow All Black Byron Kelleher. Leonard was described as “the best attacking halfback in the Super 14 this season” by All Blacks’ coach Graham Henry.
This squad will play through the Inveco series against Canada and France, then the Tri-Nations against Australia and South Africa.
