Tyla Nathan-Wong will miss next weekend’s Sevens World Cup with the Black Ferns Sevens because of a concussion.

She made her test debut as a halfback in 15s for the Black Ferns, coming off the bench in the second half against Australia in Christchurch 11 days ago, but she had to leave the field with a head injury.

The 28-year-old hasn’t recovered in time to travel for the tournament in Cape Town.
