Yes! Karl Lowe has made it into the Junior All Blacks! He was named in the Squad at 2pm on the rugby channel. He has had an outstanding season for the Hurricanes and has made the most of all his opportunities. On a personal note I love that he has been selected and I look forward to watching him play in the Pacific Cup. This is the squad that has been named:
