There may be an opportunity for Josh Ioane to feature in All Blacks' final pre‑World Cup Test - Hansen

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen says there may be an opportunity for Josh Ioane to feature in the All Blacks' final pre‑World Cup Test after an injury to Richie Mo'unga last night.

Mo'unga left the field injured in last night's 36‑0 win over the Wallabies with a shoulder injury which on first glance, medical staff said was not too serious.

He says Richie's shoulder looks like an AC joint issue.

Hansen adds whilst it's not long term, he will be sore for a couple of weeks and hopefully no more.
