Scott Barrett has been named the new captain of the All Blacks by head coach Scott Robertson. Barrett will lead the team in the upcoming two-Test series against England and matches against Fiji. Jordie Barrett and Ardie Savea have been appointed as vice-captains. Robertson's first squad includes 32 men, five uncapped players, and excludes notable player Hoskins Sotutu, who may switch allegiances to England next year. The squad announcement has sparked discussions about Robertson's selections, with some accusing him of a bias towards Crusaders players. The matches are scheduled for the coming July Tests.
