Taylor called by All Blacks

Canterbury fly-half Tom Taylor has been called up to the All Blacks squad for their upcoming two games due to the absence of pivot Aaron Cruden.


Taylor impressed on his starting debut for New Zealand against Australia last year and acts as back-up to Beauden Barrett and Colin Slade.

New Zealand take on Argentina in La Plata this Saturday before going to Johannesburg to face South Africa in their Rugby Championship finale.
