Ben Smith has been cleared of concussion symptoms and is back in Auckland helping the All Blacks prepare for the third test.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen says that tests in Dunedin over the past week had found Smith had no concussion symptoms but found it was an inner ear issue.
Vice captain Smith left the field in the first test at Eden Park, raising concerns he'd been concussed for the third time this season.
Hansen said the news was positive for Smith and his wife.
Jordie Barrett has been named at fullback for the third test in Smith's absence with Israel Dagg moving to the wing.
The All Blacks will take on the British and Irish Lions at 7.35pm this Saturday.
