The traits that could hand uncapped All Blacks prop a surprise start against Boks

Fletcher Newell has been called up to the All Blacks squad for the coming two-match series against the Springboks. He will play as a tighthead prop in the match in Mbombela. Angus Ta’avao was suspended for three matches following a red card during the July tests. Tyrel Lomax and Newel will be expected to provide backup for Ta'avae. James Parsons and Bryn Hall believe Newall will start the game. They also believe it might be the easiest way to introduce him to Test rugby. They are both former All Black players. The podcast is called Aotearoa Rugby Pod.
