Luke Jacobson's All Blacks tour has ended without a stamp being added to his passport.
All Blacks coach Scott Robertson has confirmed loose forward Jacobson, who was picked in the original 36-man squad but remained in New Zealand because he was nursing a broken thumb, won't travel to Europe for the remaining tests against England, Ireland, France and Italy.
Jacobson's misfortune means Peter Lakai, who made his test debut for the All Blacks when he took the field as a replacement during the 64-19 win over Japan in Yokohama on Saturday night, will remain with the squad.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks will play England at 3am Sunday at Twickenham.
