Hurricanes hooker Ricky Riccitelli and Highlanders lock Jackson Hemopo

New Zealand have added Hurricanes hooker Ricky Riccitelli and Highlanders lock Jackson Hemopo to their squad for the final Test against France.

Impressive Highlanders second‑rower Hemopo will provide cover at lock and loose forward with Vaea Fifita and Liam Squire both under injury clouds.

Riccitelli has been called in as cover for Nathan Harris who has left camp for the birth of his first child.

Beauden Barrett is also suffering concussion symptoms following his head knock in the 12th minute of the first Test and will not travel with the team.

The All Blacks will meet France at 7.35pm Saturday.
