A squad of 36 All Blacks has travelled to the United States for the fourth and final Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry against the Springboks at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, on Saturday 12 September at 23:00 SAST.
Three players have been ruled out after receiving injuries in the third Test against the Springboks - Ardie Savea has a dislocated shoulder; Quinn Tupaea has a MCL (knee) injury; and Luke Jacobson has injured a tendon in his elbow, which will require further investigation on return to New Zealand. Return to play timeframes for these players are yet to be determined.
Together with these three players, an additional six players will return to New Zealand. They are: Josh Jacomb; Siale Lauaki; Saula Ma’u; Cortez Ratima (knee injury); Bradley Slater and Ofa Tu’ungafasi.
