Rennie accepts Richie won’t face Boks
All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has squashed speculation over flyhalf Richie Mo’unga’s involvement in the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series.
Rennie’s charges travel to South Africa for the much-anticipated tour in August and September, but Rennie on Thursday confirmed Mo’unga will not be named in the initial squad under NZ Rugby’s current eligibility rules.
The playmaker must first feature in the NPC, with only an injury to one of the touring flyhalves creating a route back into the Test setup.
“He won’t be coming on that tour so we will squash that. Under the current rule, he needs to play NPC and we’ll have already named our squad prior to that,” Rennie said.
“What we do have is if a 10 got injured then Richie’s an option for us to bring in.”

Rennie admitted he had tried to convince NZ Rugby to relax its policy, but without success.
Asked whether he could follow the Springboks’ example of calling up Handré Pollard during the 2023 World Cup after Malcolm Marx’s injury, Rennie suggested the All Blacks did not have the same flexibility.
“Damian McKenzie plays 10 and he’s playing 15 so I’m sure I can muster an argument around that somewhere. We’ll have a pretty good crew of 10s that we take away.”
Mo’unga recently returned from Japan after recovering from a minor calf niggle, but Rennie believes the experienced playmaker has already done enough to earn another opportunity.
TEAM: Barrett still out in the cold
“I got to see him first hand in Japan the last three years and he’s been phenomenal. He just needs to slot in and play well, make sure his body is good,” Rennie said.
“We’re not putting too many things in front of him around what he has to nail, but just be back and play, and get himself in great nick that if he gets an opportunity to come to South Africa, he’s ready to go.”
Should Mo’unga remain unavailable for the tour, he will continue to compete with Ruben Love, McKenzie and Beauden Barrett for a place in the All Blacks’ match 23 later in the season.

Fassi must make a statement
Aphelele Fassi headlines a quartet of Springboks who must seize their chance against Wales before Rassie Erasmus trims his squad for the All Blacks series, writes MARK KEOHANE.
Writing for TimesLIVE, Keohane says the Bok coach already knows his first-choice match 23 and is using this month’s Nations Championship matches to test who can step into a World Cup playoff if required.
“The rotation of the past three Tests has nothing to do with uncertainty and everything to do with giving every player a chance to make a statement,” he writes.
Keohane believes Fassi has the most pressing case to make after an adequate outing against Scotland. The gifted fullback has Erasmus’ backing, but on his home ground in Durban he must convert that faith into a commanding performance.
“Fassi was OK against Scotland. He must be better against Wales.”
MORE: Ruben revved up for Bok baptism
Hooker André Hugo-Venter and locks Ruben van Heerden and Cobus Wiese are under similar pressure.
“Venter, when he is introduced, must command the position, as he did for the Stormers last season,” Keohane writes. “His ball-carrying is strong, but it is his accuracy at lineout and his certainty in the basics that will get him a pass mark.”
Keohane says Van Heerden and Wiese are both good enough to play Test rugby.
“What they must show Erasmus is that they are good enough to do it in a playoff at the World Cup in Australia next year,” he adds.
MALLET: Rassie’s got Bok balance spot-on
Wales may offer limited collective insight after their recent struggles, but for these four players the Durban Test carries major selection consequences.
Erasmus has given them the platform. Now they must deliver.
