George Bell has been recalled to the All Blacks squad as injury cover for hooker Codie Taylor, who is sidelined with concussion ahead of the Springboks rematch in Wellington.

Stuff.co stated that Bell cut short his Ranfurly Shield celebrations with Canterbury to join the team.

They also stated that winger Caleb Clarke and loose forward Luke Jacobson have also rejoined the squad after NPC duty, while Noah Hotham has recovered from an ankle injury, easing concerns at halfback.

Hooker Asafo Aumua, however, remains unavailable due to ongoing injury issues.

The All Blacks will take on South Africa at 7.05pm Saturday at the Sky Stadium in Wellington.
