The All Blacks have unveiled their squad for the upcoming Autumn Nations Series, which sees New Zealand attempt to secure their fifth Grand Slam against the home nations.
The 2025 tour marks a century since the All Blacks attempted their first Grand Slam and pits Scott Robertson's men against Ireland at Soldier Field in Chicago, before consecutive matches in Europe against Scotland, England, and Wales.
Watch every second of the Spring Tour live and on-demand via Stan Sport. New Zealand have won the Grand Slam on four occasions, in 1978, 2005, 2008, and 2010, with 2025 marking the first time in fifteen years the All Blacks have attempted the Grand Slam.
The Chicago clash will serve as a famous rematch of the 2016 fixture between the two sides, which saw Ireland claim their first ever victory over the All Blacks.
It's a relatively unchanged squad with George Bell the only new inclusion and prop Tevita Mafileo the only uncapped member of Robertson's touring side.
Timoci Tavatavanawai is also set to miss out through injury, following recent scans on his forearm.
“There is a lot of history that has led up to this opportunity for our group,” Robertson added in an official statement.
“We will be honouring and taking inspiration from the feats that have come before us.
“The rematch against Ireland at Soldier Field will be a huge occasion, and then facing some of the northern hemisphere’s best at their home grounds is a fantastic challenge for us.
“We are looking forward to this very special tour.”
