North vs South

It's up on the All Black website.

Foster said the selectors were delighted to name the North and South squads today. “This is a chance for these players to be part of something really special. It’s a once-in-a-generation match for them and players who have previously taken part in these matches have talked about how unique and memorable it was. Now these two teams get to write their own history and stories around this match. “The match will bring out the best in everyone and I’m sure there will be parochial rivalry in spades. It’s a special game because it celebrates where the players made their provincial debuts and, for some, where they really took those first steps in their professional careers,” Foster said. “The players have worked really hard and played some outstanding rugby in Investec Super Rugby Aotearoa, and we’re excited at the breadth of talent up and down the country. There is a huge amount of talent here and it will be a wonderful celebration of rugby for our fans.” Samuel Whitelock has been named as captain of the South team and Patrick Tuipulotu captain of the North. “Sam and Patrick are two special players who have had outstanding seasons. They will lead their sides with their own flavour as captains and are both proven and experienced leaders,” Foster said. -

You can also see who the AB selectors want to look at, even if they have had minimal playing time in SRA. TTT, for example.
A number of players were unavailable for selection due to injury, including 2019 All Blacks Dane Coles, Scott Barrett, Sam Cane and Ngani Laumape.I'd like to see a full list as the likes of Robinson, Jacobson and Grace aren't selected either.
