All Blacks Name Four Uncapped Players for Championship
The All Blacks have named their squad for the 2025 Rugby Championship, introducing four uncapped players, including Chiefs flanker Simon Parker, after standout Super Rugby performances. Tevita Mafileo, Kyle Preston, and Leroy Carter also join as injury cover, as the squad contends with injuries to key players like Tyrel Lomax, Luke Jacobson, Cam Roigard, Noah Hotham, and Caleb Clarke. Jordie Barrett returns from a sabbatical, and Scott Barrett will captain the team as they aim to reclaim the title lost to South Africa last season. The campaign begins with consecutive tests in Argentina, followed by matches against South Africa and a Bledisloe Cup series with Australia. Head coach Scott Robertson highlighted the merit-based selections and optimism despite the injury toll. The new squad will look to build on New Zealand's momentum following a 3-0 series sweep over France.
