Photo: Andrew Cornaga/Photosport Highlanders midfielder Timoci Tavatavawai is the big inclusion to the first All Black squad, with Ethan Blackadder and David Havili the main casualties. Tavatanawai is the only new selection in the backs, while in the forwards we have four new names: Chiefs prop and hooker Ollie Norris and Brodie McAlister, Highlanders lock Fabian Holland. In naming his first squad of the year All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson said he and his fellow selectors had balanced continuity and opportunity. "Around three-quarters of the players named today were part of our squad for the 2024 Northern Tour, which is important because we want to continue to build on the rugby we were playing at the end of last year. We have balanced that with an exciting group of new and returning players who have performed during Super Rugby Pacific," Robertson said. Scott Barrett returns as All Blacks captain, with Ardie Savea and Jordie Barrett as his vice-captains. "Scott's leadership is hugely valued in this group, and well complimented by Ardie and Jordie. They will play a vital role, along with the wider player leadership group, in supporting the transition of the new players into the environment and imparting their experience to ensure the squad is set up for success." "For the five uncapped players - Ollie, Brodie, Fabian, Du'Plessis and Timoci - this is a particularly special day. These players have all impressed us with their talent and work ethic and have earned their opportunity to be part of this All Blacks squad. We know that each of these players possesses the ability to make their mark in the black jersey and we look forward to working with them over the coming weeks," Robertson said. The All Blacks also welcome back hooker Samisoni Taukei'aho and midfielder Quinn Tupaea, who have not featured for the All Blacks since 2023 and 2022 respectively. "These players have both had to work hard following the disappointment of long-term injuries, and have been outstanding during Super Rugby Pacific this year. We are thrilled to be able to welcome them back into the squad." The All Blacks squad will assemble in Auckland on 25 June to begin preparations for the first Test against France on 5 July.

Dixon in late charge as McLaughlin retires in latest IndyCar race
The Gateway Motorsports Park in Illinois was the scene of high drama in the latest IndyCar outing. Andretti's Kyle Kirkwood celebrated his first career oval victory, while experienced Kiwi Scott Dixon once again proved his worth with a late surge to P4. Fellow Kiwis Marcus Armstrong and Scott McLaughlin were both contenders through the day, Armstrong battling inside the top ten and McLaughlin leading early before misfortune struck. From the outset things didn't run according to plan. Team Penske locked out the front row with Will Power on pole and McLaughlin alongside, while Armstrong slotted into sixth and Dixon in 11th. David Malukas launched well at the start, snatching the lead away from both Penske drivers. Meanwhile, Dixon dropped to 15th early, slipping back behind Alex Palou and Marcus Ericsson as the field settled. The first caution flew after just four laps when Devlin DeFrancesco spun and backed into the Turn 2 wall. Newgarden began making progress climbing to seventh after overtaking Armstrong. Malukas maintained the lead but McLaughlin was there or thereabouts in third, preserving his tyres. Newgarden had moving into fourth by Lap 39, forming a Penske train behind Malukas. Moments later, Power suffered a right-front blowout while running second, sending him into the wall and out of the race. The second caution sent most of the field into the pits. McLaughlin beat Malukas out and took control of the race. The Kiwi led the restart on Lap 58 with Malukas and Newgarden behind. Armstrong restarted ninth, while Dixon sat 13th. McLaughlin began to stretch a gap, building a 1.2-second margin by Lap 70. Newgarden took over second spot from Malukas. The Kiwi soon found himself slowing for backmarkers. After pitting, McLaughlin rejoined in third, almost seven seconds adrift of the leader. Next thing, Louis Foster tagged the wall and slid back across the track right into the path of Newgarden. Both drivers emerged without injury, despite a fire in Newgarden's car which was destroyed. McLaughlin was the lone Penske car remaining. He pitted under caution but copped a three-position penalty, dropping him to fifth at the restart on Lap 149. Armstrong held eighth, and Dixon was in 12th. Daly and O'Ward went toe to toe for the lead, Rasmussen had climbed to fifth after passing McLaughlin, gaining 19 places from the start. After another cycle of pitstops, Dixon found himself in the race lead. Malukas then made contact with the wall and brought out another caution. Dixon was able to pit and maintain his track position, returning to the lead on Lap 208. Armstrong's earlier stop before the caution dropped him to 15th and a lap down. When racing restarted McLaughlin suffered a right-rear tyre issue, forcing him to retire on Lap 200. Dixon kept control for a time and pitted with 24 laps to go, handing the lead briefly to O'Ward and then Ferrucci. The final laps were all about fuel-saving strategy, several leaders having to pit for extra fuel. Kirkwood, who had been there or thereabouts, took advantage gaining the lead with five laps remaining and subsequently won the race. O'Ward was second, and Rasmussen third after starting from the back of the grid. Dixon crossed the line in fourth, another strong finish for the consistent Kiwi. Armstrong brought his car home in tenth.
