All Blacks winger Richard Kahui is the only player in doubt for their Rugby World Cup match against Canada.

After the All Blacks impressive 37-17 win against France, Kahui’s hamstring strain has emerged as the most serious of the injuries.

Assistant coach Steve Hansen said it was good news across the board, also confirming number eight Kieran Read should be able to play against Canada.
 
Cory Jane had a bit of blurred vision but he has pulled up really good while Adam Thomson twisted his knee and ankle which is not serious according to the All Blacks medical staff.

All Blacks take on Canada 2.30 this Sunday in Wellington.

Meanwhile, Wallabies Rob Horne and No 8 Wycliff Palu will consult with specialists today to find out whether their World Cup campaigns are finished or have just stalled.

The Wallabies have headed to the hills for three days break in one of New Zealand’s best known spa towns before moving to Nelson for Saturday’s final pool match against Russia.

There was originally some hope that Horne would not require surgery, but the most likely option is that he will have to be replaced by Reds centre Ben Tapuai.

Matt Giteau remains another candidate, but he is believed to be still on the outer with some Wallabies and Australian Rugby Union officials.

Australia play Russia 2.30pm this Saturday.
