    Coach Scott Robertson's laying down a challenge to the All Blacks squad with their series against France already in the bag ahead of the third and final test

    Coach Scott Robertson's laying down a challenge to the All Blacks squad with their series against France already in the bag ahead of the third and final test


    The hosts have regained the Dave Gallaher Trophy with wins in the opening pair of matches in Dunedin and Wellington.

    Robertson says the All Blacks' unassailable series lead presents the players with one main hurdle to overcome ahead of Saturday's test in Hamilton.



    Robertson's confirmed utility forward Tupou Vai'i is out under head injury protocols, while wing Caleb Clarke's injured ankle will see him sidelined for between six to eight weeks.
