All Blacks World Cup squad set to be announced

From Morning Report, 7:42 am on 7 August 2023

It wasn't pretty, but the All Blacks edged the Wallabies in a tense farewell match in Dunedin, before the team heads to the Rugby World Cup.

The All Blacks squad for the World Cup in France will be named on Monday afternoon in Napier.

Coach Ian Foster has a couple of headaches as he prepares for the announcement.

Lock Brodie Retallick could miss the first few matches of the World Cup after suffering a knee injury on Saturday afternoon, while centre Braydon Ennor may be out of the World Cup entirely with his own knee issue.

Rugby writer Jamie Wall spoke to Corin Dann.
