Sydney-born loosehead Ollie Norris was among five new faces named in the 33-man squad for next month’s three-test series against France – the main beneficiary of veteran Ofa Tuʻungafasi’s neck injury.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
