Blues number eight Hoskins Sotutu's return to form in Super Rugby has missed an All Blacks recall, pipped by Chiefs opposite Wallace Sititi

Sititi has been named after a break-out season for the Chiefs, highlighted by his showing in the semi-final win over the Hurricanes.

Coach Scott Robertson says he agonised over the decision.

Sititi is alongside Chiefs teammate Cortez Ratima, Hurricanes duo Pasilio Tosi and Billy Proctor and Crusaders hooker George Bell as the new faces.

Tosi switched to the front-row from number eight after putting on circa 20 kilograms during lockdown - he outlines his journey from Southland.
