PARIS : Loose forward Ethan Blackadder has been called into the New Zealand squad for the Rugby World Cup as an injury replacement for winger Emoni Narawa, coach Ian Foster said on Saturday.
Cane joined flanker Shannon Frizell, prop Tyrell Lomax and centre Jordie Barrett in the treatment room but Foster did not rule out his skipper playing a part in the second Pool A match against Namibia next Friday. Foster said Frizell, who has a hamstring problem, would definitely not be fit to face Namibia and Lomax was unlikely to have recovered from a cut that caused muscle damage to his leg that he sustained in a warm-up loss to South Africa."Jordie is getting better every single day. So we'll just make that decision as we go along," Foster added.
