Injuries in both of New Zealand's current touring teams have resulted in a bevy of changes ahead of the All Blacks XV's opening game against Munster this weekend.
New Zealand's best of the rest have been named for their two-match tour of Europe in November, revealing who's next in line for All Blacks duties in the eyes of Scott Robertson and his selectors.
Unwanted All Blacks duo Waisake Naholo and Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi will have to state their case for World Cup inclusion through the Mitre 10 Cup after being named in the Taranaki squad for the upcoming campaign.
With such early promise, how soon can we expect this prodigious talent to be lining up against his older brother Waisake in Super Rugby?
Taranaki have held onto the Ranfurly Shield in their first defence of the year, but more important – they unearthed another Naholo that torments defences.
