The All Blacks have another tour game against the Bulls on Sunday<\/a> as the final opportunity for Roigard to take the field before the opening clash at Ellis Park. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the All Blacks are yet to name an injury replacement for Billy Proctor<\/a> who is returning home after suffering a shoulder injury in the 38-21 win over the Stormers.<\/p>\n

Proctor is the second All Black ruled out of the South African tour<\/a> \u2013 and he is certain not to be the last \u2013 after Crusaders hooker George Bell\u2019s calf injury necessitated Bradley Slater\u2019s call-up five days ago.<\/p>\n

Losing Proctor is a blow but with Jordie Barrett, Quinn Tupaea, Anton Lienert-Brown, Rieko Ioane and Timoci Tavatavanawai remaining in the squad, the All Blacks may believe they have enough midfield cover to last the tour.<\/p>\n

A.J. Lam\u2019s departure to France also leaves no obvious next-in-line replacement.<\/p>\n

David Havili, before he departs to Japan, is one potential option.<\/p>\n

Since assuming charge of the All Blacks earlier this year Rennie has made no secret of his desire to select Richie Mo\u2019unga<\/a> from the outset of his tenure. Mo\u2019unga attended a camp with the All Blacks prior to the Super Rugby Pacific final.<\/p>\n

The All Blacks coaching team may now wait until after tomorrow morning\u2019s game to make the call.<\/p>\n
