All Blacks first five eighth Stephen Donald has been called into the All Blacks squad to replace the injured Colin Slade.

Slade injured his groin in the All Blacks 33-10 quarter final win over Argentina last night, joining Daniel Carter in being ruled out of the squad.

That has left coach Graham Henry little option but to call on 21-test veteran Stephen Donald at the eleventh hour.
 
Centenarian Mils Muliaina was also ruled out of the squad after picking up a shoulder injury last night.

He will be replaced by Hurricanes wing Hosea Gear.

However it ends the test career of Muliaina who will take up a contract in Japan following the World Cup.

In the semifinal on Saturday, Wales will play France at 8pm while on Sunday also at 8pm Australia faces New Zealand.
