Three All Blacks players are in doubt for the opening test against England this Saturday.
Coach Steve Hansen has withdrawn Kieran Read after an ongoing head problem which has affected his season, wing Julian Savea is also in doubt with knee problems and Chiefs openside flanker Sam Cane is out for the series after it was discovered he had suffered a small fracture to his knee.
Hansen has called in Blues loose forward Steven Luatua to replace Read, Crusaders flanker Matt Todd will replace Cane while Savea will be receiving his scan result today to determine his spot for Saturday.
The All Blacks play England at 7.35pm this Saturday.
Meanwhile the Super Rugby will resume on the 27th of this month.
