Hansen to name two separate squads for the All Blacks final two tests

One week ago the All Blacks opted to make seven changes to their starting side to face the Pumas, which led to the birth of a potential star in Fifita.

Clearly strength in depth is one of the greatest weapons at the disposal of Steve Hansen, evident in the decision to pick two twenty eight man squads on Monday.

Two separate squads will be named for both the Buenos Aires and Cape Town tests. The two selections are not expected to be completely different, meaning that there will be some player cross over.

It is anticipated that Hansen will take a youthful side to Argentina, saving a side more closely resembling his strongest line up for South Africa in the final test.

There is also the possibility that Julian Savea might be recalled to the international stage as cover for Israel Dagg who looks to be out of action for the foreseeable future.
