All Blacks selectors were holding their breath, as star first‑five Beauden Barrett limped from the field in the Hurricanes' 34‑12 win over the Force, before it was revealed that it was just a bad case of cramps.
Taking a conversion in the final 10 minutes of his side's win, Barrett left the field appearing to be in some discomfort.
The All Blacks are already in the midst of an injury crisis ahead of the Test series with the British and Irish Lions, with star names such as Ben Smith and Dane Coles a doubt to face the Lions.
However, any fears of serious injury were cast aside at the news that Barrett was just battling cramps rather than a serious injury.
Meanwhile in other matches, the Crusaders beat the Highlanders 25-22, the Chiefs defeated the Waratahs 46‑31 and the Brumbies thrashed the Rebels 32‑3.
The Crusaders are currently leading the Super Rugby table standing with 63 points while the Lions are in second place with 56 points.
The Stormers are in third place with 30 points with the Brumbies in fourth place with 33 points.
There is only one game this weekend with the Hurricanes taking on the Chiefs at 7.35pm this Friday.
