The All Blacks will not take six first-choice players on their Rugby Championship trip to Argentina as they rest them in the midst of a gruelling international season, coach Steve Hansen said yesterday. Hansen said locks Samuel Whitelock and Brodie Retallick, loose forwards Liam Squire and Sam Cane and backs Beauden Barrett and Ryan Crotty had all been excused from making the trip to Buenos Aires. However, Jerome Kaino, Matt Todd and Patrick Tuipulotu were recalled to the 28-man squad after missing the world champions鈥 record 57-0 demolition of South Africa on the weekend. Hansen said the All Blacks faced a tough schedule and he needed to rotate his squad. 鈥淲e struggled at times last year, this is the hardest time of the year for us, so we are just trying to think outside the box,鈥 he said. The All Blacks play Argentina on September 30, then face South Africa in Cape Town a week later in the tournament鈥檚 final round.
