Kia ora and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the All Blacks squad naming for September's Rugby World Cup in France.
Direct from Napier's Pettigrew Green Arena, coach Ian Foster and his fellow selectors will name 33 players to contest the William Webb Ellis Cup - four fewer than we saw in their group for the recently concluded Rugby Championship.
One of the most contentious areas will be in the outside backs, where Caleb Clarke, Leicester Fainga'anuku, Emoni Narawa, and Shaun Stevenson will be in contention for a plane ticket.
There's also an intriguing battle looming for the third halfback spot behind Aaron Smith and Cam Roigard. Could Brad Weber - after missing out on the Rugby Championship - be promoted at Finlay Christie's expense?
With a fit Joe Moody waiting in the wings, has prop Nepo Laulala done enough to retain his place?
For a more detailed analysis, check out Newshub rugby reporter Ollie Ritchie's predictions here.
Find out the answer to all of those questions and more at 5pm.
