All Blacks to turn out for provinces

A host of All Blacks are set to return to their provinces this weekend.

The squad arrives back in the country tonight, following the two test losses in South Africa.

Forwards coach Steve Hansen says a number of players need game time.

Hawke's Bay will have Bryn Evans for their match against Wellington, who should have the services of Cory Jane.

Aled de Malmanche will return for Waikato, Tanerau Latimer will play for Bay of Plenty and North Harbour has confirmed Luke McAlister will train this week with an eye to being available against Tasman.
