All Blacks confident Jordan and Roigard can make test side

New Zealand's rugby team, the All Blacks, are confident that stars Will Jordan and Cam Roigard will be ready for their first test against South Africa, despite not having played in the recent tour matches. Coach Dave Rennie expressed no concerns regarding their lack of pre-test practice, stating that Jordan had returned from injury and Roigard had come into a test after being out for a long time.

They are assured of the players' readiness and their roles within the team. Damian McKenzie, the backup scrumhalf, and Cortez Ratima, the backup scrumhalf, are still doubtful. Cortez suffered a knee injury during the match against the Bulls, while McKenzie pulled an ankle during the match against the Sharks. As a precaution, Crusaders scrumhalf Noah Hotham has been called up as a cover for McKenzie, while Hotham would be a substitute if McKenzie is unable to play.
