All Blacks head coach Ian Foster may be forced to experiment with his squad selection for the upcoming Rugby Championship campaign and the World Cup, according to analysis by Stuff. Despite All Blacks coaches usually sticking with a tried and trusted team leading up to world events, Foster may have to take risks due to the team’s poor performance last year, injury woes among top players, and the need for fresh and enthusiastic players. Tamaiti Williams, Cam Roigard, and Shaun Stevenson are some players who could potentially be included in the team due to their impressive Super Rugby Pacific campaigns. All Blacks veteran Aaron Smith is the likely choice for halfback, while Asafo Aumua’s shaky throwing may open up opportunities for Dane Coles as the third hooker. The full squad, which will consist of 36 players, will be named on Sunday night in Te Awamatu.
