All Blacks loose forwards Samipeni Finau and Luke Jacobson are heading home from the northern tour.

The All Blacks say Finau is returning to New Zealand due to an illness in his family.

Stuff.com reports that he will miss the rest of the tour after suffering a head knock in the last week's game.

Finau has not been picked since coming off the bench in the last of his 10 tests when the All Blacks beat Argentina 41-24 in Cordoba in the Rugby Championship’s opening round in August.

The All Blacks play England at 3.10am Sunday.
