Elliot Smith: ZB rugby editor on Ian Foster naming the 33-man squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

There are no bolters in the All Blacks squad heading to the Rugby World Cup starting in France next month.

Selectors Ian Foster, Jason Ryan and Joe Schmidt have named the 33-strong All Blacks squad in Napier this afternoon, in front of almost 2000 locals.

The squad features 18 forwards and 15 backs, with three hookers, six props, four locks, five loose forwards, three halfbacks, three first five-eighths, four midfielders and five outside backs.

ZB rugby editor Elliot Smith says the squad's newest pick, Cam Roigard, was an obvious choice, as he had made a strong debut.
