Only six Hurricanes named in All Blacks squad

But only six Hurricanes have been named, that's despite the team finishing second in the New Zealand conference. The Chiefs and Highlanders both have seven All Blacks each. The lowly-ranked Blues have just three. RNZ rugby reporter, Joe Porter, joins us now to explain why.
