Wellington - New Zealand have no intention of following Australia's lead and allowing players based at foreign clubs to play for the All Blacks, rugby chief Steve Tew said on Thursday.
Australia reversed their policy of picking only home-based players for the Wallabies on Wednesday and will now allow internationals who have won 60 caps and played seven years Super Rugby to represent their country while overseas.
That leaves the All Blacks and England as the only teams with policies which exclude players plying their trade abroad and Tew said the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) had no plans to make any changes.
