All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has today confirmed Canterbury loose forward Matt Todd has been called into the All Blacks squad as an injury replacement for Sam Cane.
Todd, who made his international debut in 2013, has made three appearances for the All Blacks and has been in fine form for Canterbury.
Cane who went down injured during the All Blacks 57‑22 win over Argentina, is expected to be out of action for 4‑6 weeks with a hamstring injury, the severity of which is yet to be confirmed by the All Blacks.
The injury to Cane leaves Todd and Ardie Savea competing for the starting number 7 jersey.
The All Blacks will host South Africa at 7.35pm this Saturday in Christchurch while the Wallabies will play Argentina at 10.05pm in Perth.
