ANALYSIS: In a first test of the year that could conceivably not have featured any debutants, the All Blacks could well now run two in the loose forwards alone, as Wallace Sititi’s injury puts Scott Robertson’s best-laid plans up in smoke for the series against France.

Sititi, last year’s World Breakthrough Player of the Year as well as All Blacks Player of the Year, was last week ruled out of the three-test series due to a high-ankle injury that requires surgery.

As one Australian-born Chiefs prop prepares to pack his bags and move across the Tasman to pursue a potential test future with the Wallabies, another is relieved he stayed in New Zealand after earning a “shock” All Blacks call-up.

Sydney-born loosehead Ollie Norris was among five new faces named in the 33-man squad for next month’s three-test series against France – the main beneficiary of veteran Ofa Tuʻungafasi’s neck injury.
