The All Blacks' midfield stocks have been dealt a blow with the loss of veteran Jordie Barrett for the remainder of the Northern Tour.
Barrett will return to New Zealand to begin rehabilitation on a high ankle injury and a minor knee injury suffered in the win over Ireland in Chicago on Sunday (NZ time).
His likely replacement will be Leicester Faingaʻanuku, who impressed with his performance off the bench at Soldier Field, which could shift Quinn Tupaea cross to second five-eighth.

The Hurricanes star left the field during the first half of the 26-13 win over Ireland after receiving some treatment due on the pitch as a result of an accidental hip-drop tackle.
Brother Scott Barrett also sustained an injusy against the Irish which has ruled him out of this weekend's clash wth Scotland at Murrayfield. Josh Beehre has been called into the squad from the All Blacks XV as cover.
Ardie Savea will captain the side in Barrett's absence.
