Havili & Goodhue Covid positive

The All Blacks have suffered a major blow ahead of their first test against Ireland as David Havili and Jack Goodhue have tested positive for COVID.

Coach Ian Foster, Assistant Coach John Plumtree have also tested positive.

Crusaders centre Braydon Ennor has been called in as cover.

With Havili out, Quinn Tupaea and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck are other options at 12.

The last time they met was in Dublin last year where Ireland won 29-20.

The All Blacks face Ireland at a sold out Eden Park at 7.05 pm Saturday.
