Tuesday 23 June 2026: New Zealand Herald rugby writer Gregor Paul on Fehi Fineanganofo's inclusion in the All Blacks

On Sports Fix with Elliott Smith for 23 June 2026, yesterday, the first All Blacks squad for 2026 was named. Fehi Fineanganofo has been named in the squad for the Nations Championship even though he has already signed a contract with Newcastle Red Bulls in England for next year, once the move is made, he is ineligible for the All Blacks. However, Richie Mo'unga who has committed to NZR through to the end of the World Cup cycle is being forced to stay behind and compete in the NPC before being available for selection in the end of year tour - missing the first Nations Championship window and the monster tour of South Africa. Elliott was joined by NZ Herald rugby writer Gregor Paul to discuss. Elliott shares his thoughts on what he wants to see from the All Blacks now the squad has been selected. And Elliott and Newstalk ZB sport journalist Coby Moratti discuss the day's action in the Football World Cup and what the Warriors are going to do without Jackson Ford.
