The All Blacks have been hit by a brutal run of injuries ahead of November's Nations Championship, with 18 players suffering setbacks or facing recent fitness concerns.
Dave Rennie has already lost six players for the northern tour. Several more are fighting to get fit.
And some of the biggest names in New Zealand rugby are on the list.

The bad news? Their treatment room is getting rather crowded.
Here is the latest injury picture ahead of Tests against Scotland, Wales and England.

Savea required surgery and will miss the northern tour.
His absence is a huge blow for Rennie, who has turned to Codie Taylor for leadership.
