When Fineanganofo signed with English club Newcastle in January, it appeared any chance he had of making the All Blacks was over.

But a record 17 Super Rugby tries later and the 23 year-old wing has been included, meaning he may not be heading offshore afterall.

Two tries in the Super Rugby final meant Moorby also shared the record with his Hurricanes teammate, and the 27 yaer-old's ability to play wing as well as fullback could be handy with Will Jordan expected to miss the first two tests with a calf injury.

Numia has been a powerhouse all season at loose-head prop and thoroughly deserves his maiden call-up which could see him debut in the opening test against France in Christchurch on July 4th.

Segner was a bright spark in fading season for the Blues and is now set to become the first German-born All Black having moved from Frankfurt to Nelson as a 15 year-old.

Ardie Savea has been installed as captain, taking over from Scott Barrett who's one of four players unavailable due to injury along with Leicester Fainga'anuku, Tamaiti Williams, and Fabian Holland.

Up and coming Crusaders lock Jamie Hannah is on stand-by for Tupou Vaa'i who was injured during the Super Rugby final.

Those unlucky to miss out including Hurricanes co-captain Du'Plessis Kirifi, Crusaders halfback Noah Hotham, and Chiefs loose-forward Samipeni Finau.
