The All Blacks squad is named tomorrow — and one of the biggest questions is whether Dave Rennie can find room for Leicester Fainga’anuku AND Timoci Tavatavanawai.

With injuries reshaping the Bledisloe Cup picture, Bryn Hall, James Parsons and Ross Karl discuss whether Shannon Frizell has done enough to force his way back into the mix — and if this is the moment for the All Blacks to take a few risks.

The boys also discuss Ardie Savea’s Super Rugby future and what the All Blacks loose forward mix could look like without him.

NOTE: This episode was recorded before Australia v South Africa.
