All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has named his squad to face Samoa and the British and Irish Lions this month - and described it as one of the hardest he's ever had to pick.
All three Barrett brothers are in - Beauden, Jordie and Scott - as is Dane Coles,despite his ongoing head injury issues.
The bolters include Rieko Ioane and former Warrior Ngani Laumape.
The All Blacks will open the season Friday week at Eden Park before facing the Lions in the first test on June 24.
