The All Blacks have called two more replacements with veteran prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi who has been playing NPC for Auckland and promising lock Jamie Hannah from Canterbury to their tour squad.
They are direct replacements for Ethan de Groot and Josh Lord, who were hurt and underwent HIA's in Saturday's first test win over the Springboks in Johannesburg.
LATEST HEADLINES:
De Groot and Lord went off near the end of the first half of the All Blacks' 33-16 win at Ellis Park after blows to the head and must go through the World Rugby concussion protocols, likely ruling them out of next week's second test in Cape Town.
The 34-year-old Tu'ungafasi, who played at the last two World Cups for the All Blacks, and Hannah, 23 who won his first cap as a late injury replacement against France in the Nations Championship last month
New Zealand have had four replacements join the tour so far with Billy Proctor, George Bell, Ollie Norris and Caleb Clarke all returning home and Brad Slater, Richie Mo'unga, Noah Hotham, Saula Ma'u plus Tu'ungafasi and Hannah in.
