The All Black selectors have named a 30 strong squad to prepare for the final two tri nations test against Australia and South Africa.
The All Blacks held a one-day training camp in Christchurch yesterday with All Blacks and Otago flanker Adam Thomson, his Otago lock teammate Tom Donnelly and Canterbury utility back Colin Slade joining the squad.
The trio will stay with the All Blacks squad for the final two home Test matches as cover for injuries and to provide additional selection options.
Meanwhile, Neemia Tialata, who is on the bench for Wellington this weekend against Counties-Mankau, will also be available for Wellington in the next round against Taranaki today week before joining the All Blacks squad.
The full squad is: John Afoa, Dan Carter, Jimmy Cowan, Wyatt Crockett, Aled de Malmanche, Stephen Donald, Tom Donnelly, Jason Eaton, Owen Franks, Hosea Gear, Andrew Hore, Cory Jane, Jerome Kaino, Tanerau Latimer, Brendon Leonard, Richie McCaw, Mils Muliaina, Ma'a Nonu, Kieran Read, Josevata Rokocoko, Isaac Ross, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Colin Slade, Rodney So'oialo, Adam Thomson, Neemia Tialata, Brad Thorn, Isaia Toeava, Piri Weepu and Tony Woodcock.
