The All Blacks have suffered another injury blow with loose forward Anton Segner ruled out for the remainder of the tour of South Africa. <\/p>\n

\n Segner was a late withdrawal from the first test squad <\/a>in Johannesburg after suffering an ankle injury, assessed as acute inflammatory
\n arthritis.\n <\/p>\n

He underwent keyhole surgery and will travel with the team to Cape Town but will not play. The All Blacks won\u2019t bring in a replacement with midweek games coming to an end. <\/p>\n

Segner was replaced in the first test squad by Simon Parker. Segner\u2019s setback continues a string of injuries<\/a> for the All Blacks<\/a> in South Africa after hooker George Bell, centre Billy Proctor and wing Caleb Clarke were forced to return home. <\/p>\n

Ethan de Groot and Josh Lord both suffered head knocks in the opening test win with Jamie Hannah and Ofa Tu\u2019ungafasi flying to South Africa as replacements. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NZ Herald 25 Aug, 2026 07:38 PMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require a Premium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[190,5263,9526,53783,8136,26862,2082,19134,305,42,15258,114231,43,1118,3111,111381,28029,24684,228461,1240,8137,31145,40,38,41,39,208,102],"class_list":["post-580289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-africa","tag-all","tag-another","tag-anton","tag-blacks","tag-blow","tag-for","tag-forward","tag-have","tag-headlines","tag-injury","tag-loose","tag-news","tag-of","tag-out","tag-remainder","tag-rest","tag-ruled","tag-segner","tag-south","tag-springboks","tag-suffered","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-tour","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
