Three New Zealand Players Injured, will not face Argentina

The world’s number one team, New Zealand will be without three leading players for their next match. The All Blacks will play away to Argentina in Buenos Aires in just under two weeks time on October 01.

Flankers Same Cane and Jerome Kaino are both out injured as is fly half Aaron Cruden. Of the three the former two have been first choice players this year. Cruden has also started but is very much now the back-up option to Beauden Barrett.
