CSB - Jason Ryan - All Blacks Forwards coach

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson has resisted the urge to make changes to his squad for next month’s Grand Slam tour, opting for a conservative approach with his 36-man squad.

There was speculation Robertson would look to blood new players and give some up-and-coming stars a chance to learn inside the All Blacks’ environment.

However, instead, one change was made with George Bell replacing Brodie McAllister as the third-string hooker.
