All Blacks Adam Thomson and Zac Guildford as well as the in-form Hosea Gear have been included New Zealand's 22-man trial squad for the Commonwealth Games.

Coach Gordon Tietjens will reduce his squad to 14 next month for the rugby sevens section of the Games at New Delhi, India, from October 11-12.

Back-row Thomson and wing Guildford made the enlarged squad who will assemble at Mt Maunganui today for a training camp.

They were omitted from the All Blacks for the upcoming Tri-Nations series against South Africa and Australia, while Hurricanes and New Zealand Maori wing Gear was unable to break into the national side despite strong form.

The rest of the squad has a familiar look to it with DJ Forbes, Zar Lawrence, Tomasi Cama, and Lote Raikabula all involved. Flyers Sherwin Stowers and Kurt Baker can also expect to feature in India.

Tietjens has also included 2009 All Blacks wing Ben Smith in his squad, along with recently named IRB Junior Player of the Year, Julian Savea.

Tietjens said he was pleased with the depth of the players coming into the trial camp.

"We have a good mix of current sevens national squad members and quality players coming in from other national teams," he said.

Players not considered for the trial camp due to injury are Sean Maitland (shoulder), Tim Nanai-Williams (hamstring), Lelia Masaga (knee), Kendrick Lynn (groin), Jared Payne (ankle) and Scott Waldrom (hand).
