A concession from All Blacks coach Dave Rennie as he deliberates his first squad for July's Nations Championship series. 

He'll attend the Chiefs-Highlanders Super match in Hamilton tonight as the squeeze comes on for players to impress. 

A 34-strong group will be named for the tests against France, Ireland, and Italy, with a further 10 added for the tour of South Africa. 

Rennie told Mike Hosking the depth of talent is scarcer than the recent past. 

He says that in their heyday, the All Blacks would’ve had six or seven players featuring in the World XV, and they probably haven’t got that number at the moment. 

However, Rennie says there is an enormous amount of talent in New Zealand, and their job is going to be to work with the Super Rugby coaches and staff to bring that through.
