Mike Delany and Tanerau Latimer have been named in the All Blacks squad for the 6 game tour to Japan and Europe. What fantastic news for Delany who has been in stunning form all season - and for the past few seasons. Here's hoping he can make the field during the tour. Also good news for Latimer who still looks like he is the first-choice replacement for Richie McCaw.

Once again this shows how the BoP Mafia know their rugby - in a recent poll on this very website, 83% of respondents said that Delany should be picked for this tour.
