Mehrtens named in All Blacks squad

Andrew Mehrtens’ renaissance continued when he was named in the 26-man New Zealand squad to face England in two Tests.

The Crusaders flyhalf only got a call up to the trial on the strength of his performance in the Super 12 final and again proved his worth by replacing Carlos Spencer in the Probables pivot position to help steer them to a narrow 29-27 win over the Possibles.
