SPOTLIGHT: All Blacks assistant coach Tana Umaga has supplied an update on how both Will Jordan and Jordie Barrett are tracking ahead of the Nations Championship against Wales this weekend.

All Blacks assistant coach Tana Umaga provided an injury update confirming that star back Will Jordan is unlikely to play against Wales this weekend. Jordan sustained a suspected hamstring injury in the second half of New Zealand's 43-21 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield. In addition, Jordie Barrett failed a head injury assessment following a collision with Scotland's Blair Kinghorn.
While Jordan awaits scans to evaluate the severity of his injury, the All Blacks are set to welcome back Richie Mo'unga and Ethan Blackadder. Both players had been sidelined with calf injuries but are expected to be available for selection in Cardiff.
