Cane and Cruden out for final two Tests

The All Blacks loose forward Jerome Kaino will miss the next Test against Argentina as he recovers from a shoulder injury he sustained in the recent Test against South Africa in Christchurch.

RNZ reports Kaino will rejoin the All Blacks squad for the final Test of the Rugby Championship against South Africa a week later.

Fellow loose forward Sam Cane and first five Aaron Cruden have been ruled out for the rest of the Rugby Championship due to injury.

Matt Todd and Damien McKenzie will travel as injury replacements for Cane and Cruden while George Moala and Waisake Naholo return from injury.
