Star wing Rieko Ioane is a better prospect to play than he was when they rolled into Paris on the Eurostar on Sunday, after he had been diagnosed with the squad's second (though unrelated) bout of the mumps.
Final decisions on both will be made over the next day or so, but don't be surprised if the raw but exciting Vaea Fifita is called up for the biggest match of his short international career at No 6 against France. The All Blacks almost always require starters to log two quality training sessions, and Squire was in no shape to do that in Paris on Tuesday.
