Jerome Kaino is the latest addition to New Zealand’s injury list, with the All Blacks flanker set to miss the side’s Test against Argentina.

Kaino injured his shoulder against South Africa in Christchurch and will miss the Buenos Aires Test on October 1, but will join up with the squad ahead of their clash with the Springboks in Durban.

Sam Cane and Aaron have been ruled out of the remainder of the Rugby Championship, set to remain in New Zealand for the final two Tests.

Winger Waisake Naholo has returned to the squad after a hamstring injury has kept him out of the past three Tests, while George Moala also returns to the centres group after a medial injury.
