Four All Blacks have been ruled out of the second Bledisloe Cup Test against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday.
Loose forward Du'Plessis Kirifi has been recalled to the All Blacks squad alongside George Bell, Jamie Hannah, and Anton Lienert-Brown following multiple injuries ahead of the second Bledisloe Cup Test against Australia in Sydney. Four players have been ruled out from the upcoming match, including Asafo Aumua, Anton Segner, Ethan Blackadder, and Leroy Carter, who suffered a serious ankle injury during New Zealand's 50-19 win in Auckland.
Attack coach Mike Blair noted that the injuries provide a valuable opportunity to test squad depth leading into the World Cup. For Australia, influential centre Len Ikitau has also been ruled out of the rematch due to a head knock sustained at Eden Park.
