All Blacks prop Ollie Norris will return home from South Africa after sustaining a cartilage injury in his knee.
Norris is expected to be sidelined for approximately six weeks, with a replacement prop to be announced in due course.
Meanwhile, Canterbury and Crusaders halfback Noah Hotham has been called into the All Blacks squad as injury cover for Cortez Ratima.
Ratima suffered a knee injury during the All Blacks’ 50-19 victory over the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria and is continuing to be assessed.
The All Blacks now turn their attention to the opening Test of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against South Africa in Johannesburg this weekend.
