Fiji-born Chiefs winger Emoni Narawa has been named to start on the right wing for the All Blacks against France tomorrow after Blues winger Caleb Clarke was unfortunately withdrawn from the team following a high ankle injury during their training run yesterday.

This has been confirmed by the All Blacks who say Clarke is having scans to establish the extent of the injury, however, he has been ruled out of the remainder of the Lipovitan-D July Series.

Narawa, who was named in the squad as injury cover, will start on the right wing, moving Rieko Ioane to the left wing.

Meanwhile, Fiji-born Highlanders winger, Timoci Tavatavanawai will make his potential debut for the All Blacks off the bench tomorrow.

The All Blacks will take on France at 7.05pm tomorrow in Wellington, in their second test of the Lipovitan-D July Series.
