All Blacks lose Sam Cane and Mark Tele'a

The All Blacks have brought in three additional All Blacks XV players as injury cover, as they prepare to play France this weekend.  

Sam Cane has been ruled out for the game due to Head Injury Assessment (HIA) protocols, which sees All Blacks XV Captain, Du'Plessis Kirifi, join the squad.

Mark Tele'a is also out for the France Test, after scans confirmed he sustained a hand injury during the match against Ireland. Chay Fihaki has travelled from Montpellier to Paris as backs cover.

Lock Fabian Holland has also joined the All Blacks camp, following Sam Darry's season-ending MCL injury.  

AJ Lam replaced Harry Plummer (minor leg injury) last week, as cover for Billy Proctor.
