Scott Robertson\u2019s All Blacks win over the Springboks has come at a cost, with two injured players set to miss next Saturday\u2019s Rugby Championship rematch in Wellington.<\/p>\n
New Zealand were 24-17 winners over South Africa<\/a>\u00a0in an Eden Park classic, but they will definitely be without hooker Codie Taylor next weekend and the availability of try-scoring winger Emoni Narawa is rated as \u201chighly unlikely\u201d.<\/p>\n First-choice No.2 Taylor has been ruled out with a concussion after he played just 32 minutes of the Round Three match, while Narawa hurt his ribs when competing for a high ball in the seventh minute, not long after he had opened the scoring with a second-minute try.<\/p>\n Assistant coach Jason Ryan<\/a> addressed reporters on Sunday in Auckland before the All Blacks travelled south, explaining that a replacement would be called up for the stricken Taylor, who was replaced in the match by Samisoni Taukei\u2019aho<\/a> and is now in line to start in Round Four.<\/p>\n \u201cBrutally honest\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCodie will go through the protocols with a 12-day stand down, so he won\u2019t be available, while Emoni is highly unlikely due to his ribs,\u201d explained Ryan.<\/p>\n Potential call-up candidates for Taylor include Asafo Aumua and George Bell, who both featured last year for the All Blacks, and Brodie McAlister, who hasn\u2019t been involved since debuting in July against France.<\/p>\n Ardie Savea issues blunt \u2018this is my house message\u2019 to the Springboks<\/a><\/p>\n Opinion: South Africa should not start officiating \u2018blame game\u2019 when Rassie Erasmus\u2019 side \u2018couldn\u2019t handle the occasion\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Robertson\u2019s squad already has plenty of cover available if the injury to Narawa, who was making only his second Test start in place of Sevu Reece<\/a>, doesn\u2019t come right in time. Reece, Caleb Clarke, Leicester Fainga\u2019anuku and the uncapped Leroy Carter are all potential alternatives.<\/p>\n With the All Blacks having stretched their unbeaten streak at Eden Park to 51 matches, Ryan looked ahead to the Wellington rematch.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a lot riding on the first one, but we have got to make sure we build that same edge this week,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThat will start with being brutally honest about a couple of opportunities where we let them back in the game. I liked the intensity we brought from the start. We adapted well to the slippery conditions, but there were parts where we took the pressure off.\u201d<\/p>\n
