Sonny Bill Williams will have no hesitation in answering an SOS call from Steve Hansen to put on the black jersey for two more tests.
With Conrad Smith out for the first part of the Rugby Championships because of the need to have eye surgery and Richard Kahui not available until next year due to a shoulder operation, the All Blacks selectors have been left with few options for the midfield in the upcoming two Bledisloe Cup tests, in Sydney and Auckland.
Meanwhile, Williams will also be the key player in the Chiefs side that will take on the Sharks.
On the other hand, the Sharks have arrived in Sydney on their way to Hamilton for the Super Rugby final and were given a boost as backline pair Patrick Lambie and Paul Jordan were both included in the 24 man squad.
Springbok back Lambie and junior Bok centre Jordaan missed the 26-19 semifinal win over the Stormers in Cape Town at the weekend after failing late fitness tests.
Their availability will be a massive boost for coach John Plumtree, who reported no fresh injury concerns following their battling victory at Newlands.
The Sharks meet the Chiefs this Saturday at 7.35pm.
