    Taranaki coach Neil Barnes believes his first five-eighths Josh Jacomb is not ready for the All Blacks yet, heading into tonight's NPC quarter-final against Hawke's Bay in Napier


    The 24-year-old - who's signed with the Highlanders from 20-27 - leads the domestic competition in metres gained and is the second-highest points-scorer.

    Barnes says test rugby is another step up.



    Kickoff is at 10 past 7 - live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeart Radio.
