The All Blacks will be without four more players in the second Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney after picking up injuries in last night's 50-19 win at Eden Park.
Asafo Aumua and Anton Segner came off the bench, and both ended up failing a head injury assessment and will serve a minimum 12-day stand-down.
George Bell and Du’Plessis Kirifi have been called into the squad as their replacements.
Ethan Blackadder injured his calf in the warm-up and will also miss time, with his Crusaders teammate Jamie Hannah joining the squad in his absence.
Leroy Carter was the last of the casualties, suffering a high ankle sprain while scoring a try and will be replaced by veteran Anton Lienert-Brown.
The four changes add to the existing injury absences of Richie Mo’unga and Fehi Fineanganofo as the All Blacks prepare for the second Test at Accor Stadium this Saturday (kick-off 6pm NZT).
