Four All Blacks Ruled Out of Second Bledisloe Test in Sydney

New Zealand's bid to sweep the Bledisloe Cup series has been hit by a wave of injuries, with four All Blacks ruled out of Saturday's second test against Australia at Sydney's Accor Stadium. Hooker Asafo Aumua and loose forward Anton Segner both failed second head-injury assessments following the 50-19 first-test demolition of the Wallabies. Ethan Blackadder is out with a calf problem, while wing Leroy Carter suffered a high ankle sprain while scoring a try in that opening rout. George Bell, Du'Plessis Kirifi, Anton Lienert-Brown and Jamie Hannah have been called up as replacements, and Carter's injury could also sideline him for November's Nations Championship tests. Australia has problems of its own. Centre Len Ikitau is out after a head knock, Hunter Paisami remains suspended and Jordan Petaia is sidelined with an ankle injury, with Corey Toole and Kadin Pritchard drafted into the squad. The first-test margin flattered neither side's medical room, and both camps now face a reshuffled week before the series concludes in Sydney.
