Aaron Smith has been named in the All Blacks squad for the upcoming Northern Hemisphere tour.

Smith returns to the touring squad after missing two tests for misconduct in an incident in a disabled toilet at Christchurch airport.

Outside back Rieko Ioane and hooker Liam Coltman are the two uncapped players named in the All Blacks rugby squad.

There is also big news for the Barrett family, with lock Scott named as injury cover for Sam Whitelock who could be out for 3‑6 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Younger brother Jordie was included as the 'apprentice player', joining brother Beauden.

The All Blacks will play Ireland, Italy and France in the November tour.

Meanwhile, the All Blacks hammered the Wallabies 37‑10 last night at Eden Park to win the 18 consecutive test match.
