All Blacks watch: Who pressed their case in the play-offs

The die is now cast for anyone in that category from the Hurricanes, as they were knocked out of the play-offs, but still there was enough in this weekend to give Scott Robertson a bit to ponder before we head to Taranaki to learn who will be taking on France in three tests in July. George Bell scores the winner against the Brumbies. Photo: Mark Evans/ActionPress One of the more intriguing 'remember me' performances. Bell had completely dropped off the radar due to injury and the very good form of Ioane Moananu in his place at the Crusaders. However, two very good weeks in a row - including scoring the winning try against the Brumbies - is a reminder that while Bell's call up last year was a surprise, he will most likely be still in Robertson's thinking for this season. Photo: PhotoSport / Martin Hunter Another player to not only come off the bench for the Crusaders but also be part of an incredibly dominant scrum that never even let the Reds get a sniff in Christchurch. Bower hasn't played test rugby since late 2022, leading many to speculate a switch of national allegiance to Fiji, but with this sort of scrummaging form, he may well find himself back in black. His Crusaders connection to Robertson certainly won't hurt either, if experience is needed in an emergency. Beauden Barrett of the Blues tackled by Damian McKenzie of the Chiefs. Photo: Andrew Cornaga/ Given that the squad naming is taking place at the Barrett family's home club, it's a pretty safe bet all three brothers will be named on 23 June. However, while Scott is obviously starting as captain, there is a slight question mark over what role Jordie and Beauden will initially play in the match day squad. On the evidence of his performance against the Chiefs, it will be a very tough call to leave Beauden out of the starting 10 jersey, given that his tactical kicking in a test-match intensity was the difference between the Blues' advancing to the semi-finals or having their season end then and there. Joshua Fusitu'a. Photo: Aaron Gillions/ActionPress Another prop who played an important set piece role was Fusitu'a, whose momentum lately has included winning the Blues player of the year award. Every set piece in the Blues' victory over the Chiefs was crucial, as it gave the opportunity to garner penalties that Barrett either kicked for goal or converted into large territorial gains. At 24, Fusitu'a has a long career ahead of him, however a call up now would give him ample time to work his way up the propping rotation at a managed pace. Ruben Love. Photo: Andy Radka/ActionPress We all know how good Love's all round game is, especially since his shift to first five this season was a major part in the Hurricanes finally getting their act together. Even though he moved back to fullback to accommodate the returning Brett Cameron, Love was still entrusted with the goal kicking, which he's handled superbly. The All Blacks are blessed with a number of test match quality kickers, but this particular skillset is one that gives Love just that much more of an advantage as a utility player. Daniel Rona. Photo: Michael Thomas/ActionPress While this would fall into the bolter category, a call up for Rona would be justified on his incredibly consistent form this season. Most of the chat has been around a recall for his midfield partner Quinn Tupaea, but Rona's performance in a losing effort against the Blues was the Chiefs' best. There is a lot of traffic jostling to get into the midfield selections, so this may be more of being added to the official depth chart rather than a direct selection in June.

All Whites shock African champions Ivory Coast 1-0 in Toronto

Elijah Just contests possession for the All Whites against Ivory Coast. Photo: photosport The All Whites have clung on to shock African champions Ivory Coast 1-0 in Toronto - in a result that could be regarded as one of their best in the last 15 years. Winger Eli Just scored the winning goal just before halftime before New Zealand dug in to win a contest in which they were largely outplayed but scrapped effectively to preserve a clean sheet. They did it with regular captain Chris Wood playing as a substitute, coming off the bench in the 82nd minute to replace striker Kosta Barbarouses as All Whites management seek to control the 33-year-old's workload following a huge season of goal-scoring at Nottingham Forest. Defender Libby Cacace was captain in his place. It was New Zealand's first match since March, when they beat New Caledonia in Auckland to book their place at next year's FIFA World Cup. Playing their first ever men's senior match against world No.41 Ivory Coast, the 86th-ranked All Whites notched their first win over a team ranked that high since 2010. Victory was based on some inspired defending, led by Finn Surman, while fellow-centre back Tyler Bindon also impressed with his grittiness and goalkeeper Max Crocombe came up with a number of crucial stops. After seeing off a host of Ivory Coast attacks, the New Zealanders scored a counter-attacking goal through Austria-based Just in the 41st minute.

Photo: photosport The goal was set up by midfielder Marko Stamenic, who won back possession in the middle of the park and quickly picking out Just's run down the right flank. Just's first touch was sublime before an angled shot to the far left corner beat goalkeeper Badra Ali Sangare. The Elephants didn't start with their strongest side at BMO Stadium, but coach Emerse Fae introduced a host of leading European players in the second half in the pursuit of goals. One of their best chance came in the 92nd minute when Crocombe produced a reaction save to deny a close-range header from Brighton star winger in the English Premier League, Simon Adingra. Moments later the final whistle sounded on just New Zealand's third win in 19 international matches against African opposition. The only injury concern was an apparent knee problem suffered by Callum McCowatt midway through the first half. He was replaced by Ben Old. The match was part of the Canadian Shield four-nation tournament. In the opening match, hosts Canada beat Ukraine 4-2. New Zealand will play the 25th-ranked Ukrainians on Wednesday morning in Toronto.
