All Blacks Squad Update

All Blacks midfielder, Billy Proctor, will return home to New Zealand today after fracturing his shoulder blade in the game against the Stormers.

The All Blacks selectors have decided to bring in Richie Mo'unga as a replacement in the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry squad.

"We really feel for Billy. He has had a great season so this is frustrating for him. It is the harsh reality of our game. We wish him all the best with his recovery and hope to see him fit and well in time for the end of year tour selection," Head Coach Dave Rennie said.

"Richie is the obvious choice as a replacement. His job now is to get in and learn our systems, get his head around the detail and earn the right to play."

Mo'unga will arrive in Johannesburg on Friday.
