This week on Rugby Direct, Elliott Smith and Liam Napier are in Christchurch following the All Blacks squad announcement and reflect on the five new names in the squad of 32, as well as the big omissions from the group including Hoskins Sotutu and Ruben Love.

We also hear from All Blacks forwards coach Jason Ryan and uncapped prop Pasilio Tosi.

We also dig into a dominant Blues performance in the Super Rugby final against the Chiefs, that ended their 24 year drought.
