All Blacks duo ruled out of Wales Test

The All Blacks have lost key the services of Rieko Ioane and Luke Romano for their final test of the year against Wales on Saturday.

Ioane played the full 80 minutes gaining 87 metres, beating 7 defenders, collecting 5 clean breaks and picked up a try assist as the All Blacks edged Scotland 22-17 at Murrayfield on Saturday.

However, a shoulder issue will see him miss next weekend's trip to Cardiff, while lock Romano, who was replaced early in the second half in Edinburgh, has a foot injury.

The All Blacks depth in the second row will now be tested as Romano joins Brodie Retallick on the list of unavailable locks for their final test of the year.
