Injuries have ruled flanker Sam Cane and wing Mark Tele’a out of Sunday’s All Blacks test against France. Cane suffered a head cut in the win over Ireland and will need to go through Head Injury Assessment (HIA) protocols, while Tele’a has a hand injury.

Injured lock Sam Darry was ruled out of the rest of New Zealand's season-ending tour on Saturday with veteran Sam Cane in doubt for their next Test against France.

Former captain Sam Cane is an injury doubt for New Zealand ahead of their clash with France next weekend but coach Scott Robertson is confident Beauden Barrett and Codie Taylor will be fit to play in Paris.
