All Blacks: David Havili could be welcomed in from cold when squad named

All Blacks coach Ian Foster will name his first squad of the year on Monday night. Havili is a leading contender to fill the midfield void left by the injuries of Jack Goodhue and Anton Lienert-Brown. The All Blacks play against Tonga and Fiji next month. Ngani Laumape is leaving the All Black's. Braydon Ennor, Rieko Ioane and Leicester Fainga’anuku are also options. All blacks won the Tri Nations last year, but they lost to Argentina and the Springboks. To retain the Bledisloe Cup, Foster needs to retain his contract through to the 2023 World Cup.
