It's now official that All Blacks midfielder, Billy Proctor, will return home to New Zealand after fracturing his shoulder blade in the game against the Stormers.
The All Blacks selector confirmed on Thursday afternoon to bring in Richie Mo'unga as a replacement for the tour squad.
LATEST HEADLINES:
"We really feel for Billy. He has had a great season so this is frustrating for him. It is the harsh reality of our game. We wish him all the best with his recovery and hope to see him fit and well in time for the end of year tour selection," said All Blacks Head Coach Dave Rennie..
"Richie is the obvious choice as a replacement. His job now is to get in and learn our systems, get his head around the detail and earn the right to play."
Mo'unga, who has played two NPC games for Canterbury recently will arrive in Johannesburg on Friday.
