SECOND ROW BRODIE Retallick has been named in New Zealand’s final 33-man squad for the Rugby World Cup, despite picking up a knee injury last weekend.
Prop Joe Moody and back row Ethan Blackadder are absent, having had injuries this season, but centre David Havili is included after making a comeback for Tasman in the NPC last weekend. The All Blacks will also face Italy, Namibia, and Uruguay in Pool A at the World Cup. They could meet Ireland in the quarter-finals if both sides make it to that stage.The All Blacks squad is largely along expected lines and includes a huge amount of experience.
