McCaw, Jane out of Bledisloe test
Print Edition
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw and winger Cory Jane have been ruled out of today’s Bledisloe Cup rugby test against Australia with minor injuries.
McCaw was to play his 121st test and a world record 32nd against Australia — the most by any player against a single team — but was forced to withdraw yesterday with a tight calf muscle. Jane had been recalled to the All Blacks starting lineup for his first test after a nine-month injury layoff but was also forced out with a slight hamstring strain. The 43-test veteran, who last played against England in December, ruptured knee ligaments in January. Flanker Sam Cane has been named to replace McCaw, and Charlie Piutau will replace Jane for only his seventh test. Kieran Read takes over as captain.
