The first All Blacks squad of 2023 was unveiled on Sunday night by coach Ian Foster for the upcoming Rugby Championship.

The 36-man squad includes five new caps and one of those new faces - considered by many pundits as a true bolter - is Crusaders utility back Dallas McLeod.

Ian Foster says he's been keeping a keen eye on the 24-year-old since age grade level.

His father Dave McLeod, who is a builder in Methven and played for Mid Canterbury, spoke to Morning Report.
