Following his side's 40‑12 win over the Wallabies at Eden Park on Saturday, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has released seven of his players from camp, allowing them to take part in the next round of Mitre 10 Cup fixtures.

With a week's break between the win over the Wallabies, and facing Argentina in Nelson, the likes of Luke Whitelock, Ardie Savea, Te Toi-roa Tahuri-orangi, Nehe Milner‑Skudder, Liam Coltman, Shannon Frizell and Tim Perry have all been made available for provincial duty.

The most intriguing move however, comes as Richie Mo'unga will not be available to play for Canterbury, leading to speculation the young first‑five will be in line to feature in a rotated All Blacks side against Argentina.

The All Blacks will meet Argentina at 7.35pm next Saturday while the Wallabies will meet the Springboks at 10pm next Saturday.
