An All Blacks wider training camp, minus any members of the Crusaders, has been announced as the build-up begins for the Rugby Championship.
The training camp is being held in Christchurch over the next two days as the squad begins preparations for their opening game against Australia on August 18.
Dane Coles will be part of the camp despite having yet to take the field this season, missing the entire Hurricanes' campaign due to a knee injury. Patrick Tuipulotu also returns after missing the French series and the backend of the Blues' season following a shoulder injury.
