The team then returns to New Zealand for two consecutive Tests against Argentina, in Christchurch and Hamilton. The All Blacks will have a two-day camp in Wellington next week before travelling to South Africa for back-to-back Tests against the Springboks. “It’s exciting to be heading back to South Africa for the first time in several years - we have two big games ahead of us there and our focus now is to support the team to improve performance and be successful.” There have been some thorough conversations this week, as there always are around our performance environments, and these will continue. New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson also added: "The past fortnight has been a challenging time for us and of course our fans. This is a real chance to show what we are about as a team.” “The Rugby Championship plus the Bledisloe Cup remain our top priorities. “We have taken on board the lessons from the Steinlager series and are excited about looking forward to the next phase of our Test season,” said Foster. Blues and Taranaki playmaker Stephen Perofeta is the only other uncapped player. Braydon Ennor, Tyrel Lomax and the uncapped Josh Dickson will join the squad for the South African leg of the tournament. With Angus Ta’avao, Brodie Retallick and Jack Goodhue making their way back from suspension and injury, the All Blacks selectors have called in temporary cover. The squad features the return of Highlanders forwards Ethan de Groot and Shannon Frizell, who have been selected in the full-time squad after providing injury cover during the July series. The bulk of the squad from the July Tests against Ireland have been retained as the All Blacks set their sights on the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup Tests.
