The All Blacks will face England, Ireland, France and Italy - three of whom are in the top five in the world rankings - on consecutive weekends next month as the showpiece event of the autumn returns following 2023's hiatus.
Twenty-three-year-old Counties Manukau and Hurricanes scrum-half Cam Roigard is the only new face in the squad that ended the recent Rugby Championship in second place. Over the course of that campaign, New Zealand suffered as many defeats as they claimed victories. Roigard, making a rapid return from injury to Test-match contention, was last seen in the black jersey during last year's World Cup, in a pool match against Uruguay.
Autumn Nations Series 2024: Fixtures and How to Watch
New Zealand will warm up for the Autumn Nations Series with a match against Japan in Yokohama on 26th October. They have yet to claim a clean sweep in the past two editions of the Autumn Nations Series, with losses to Ireland and France in 2021, and a draw with England in 2022 - something Robertson will be desperate to put right come November.
