New Zealand winger Ruby Tui has been omitted from the 33-woman squad for this month's Pacific Four Series. The 33-year-old, who was outstanding during the 2022 Rugby World Cup, is one of three absentees. Coach Allan Bunting says they remain in consideration for the Women's World Cup later this year. Two-time world player of the year Portia Woodman-Wickliffe has returned after retirement. New Zealand will face Australia, Canada, and the United States from 10 May.
