The All Blacks winger Waisake Naholo has fractured a bone in his leg and will not be available for the World Cup.
After a season playing for the All Black Sevens in 2012, Naholo made his debut for the All Blacks on the right wing in Christchurch last night, as the home side romped to a 38‑19 victory over Argentina.
A clean line break showed his potential as a match winner and would have had selectors penciling his name into the World Cup squad of 31 before he limped off the field in about the 60th minute.
The All Blacks coach Steve Hansen says Naholo has cracked his fibia and will not be fit to play for three months.
Hansen says Naholo will miss the World Cup which is pretty disappointing for him and them.
Hansen called Naholo's debut performance really good.
"He impressed us and though he made a couple of small errors the good things he did were very, very good and he will blossom into a very good All Black."
Meanwhile, Wallabies will play Springboks at 10.5pm today.
