Prior to the two-Test series against England starting next month, Scott Barrett has been named the new rugby union captain of New Zealand. Five uncapped players have also been selected in Scott Robertson’s first All Blacks team since he succeeded Ian Foster as head coach.

Robertson stated, “We believe Wallace is an incredible young talent.” The two uncapped players are Billy Proctor, a colleague of the massive Hurricanes behemoth Pasilio Tosi, and Cortez Ratima, who has been named at scrum-half and hooker, respectively.
