New Zealand hooker Dane Coles has been ruled out for up to six months after suffering a ruptured ACL in their win over France on Saturday.
Coles’ injury was confirmed by the All Blacks on Twitter on Sunday, with Codie Taylor now set to take over as their starting hooker on tour.
New Zealand’s other hookers on tour are Nathan Harris and Asafo Aumua. Their next game is against a French XV on Wednesday in Lyon.
