The All Blacks have named a strong squad for their Europe Tour next month.

The squad features the return of four recent All Blacks, including world rugby’s leading point’s scorer Daniel Carter, who missed the All Blacks’ recent victorious Investec Rugby Championship campaign through injury.

Loose forward Victor Vito also returns to the team after being out since the Steinlager Series in June with injury.

The squad also sees midfielder Sonny Bill Williams return to the national side while lock Luke Romano also returns to the national side after a long injury layoff.

Another feature is the inclusion of halfback Augustine Pulu, who has been named in his first official All Blacks squad, after being called into the All Blacks as an injury replacement for last weekend’s Bledisloe Cup Test preparations.

The All Blacks will play England, Scotland and Wales in their Europe tour.
