New era for All Black front row as Newell looks forward to possible home test

Fletcher Newell impressed in the All Blacks victory over South Africa. Ethan De Groot, Tyrel Lomax and Fletcher Newel have only 23 test matches of experience between them. Ian Foster wants more dynamism from his front row. Newall's next game is in his hometown Christchurch. The All Black coach recently gave halfback Folou Fakatava his debut in front of his home-crowd in Dunedin. Nepo Laulala and Ofa Tu’ungafasi will remain with their NPC sides. They will continue to nurse their injuries.
