A third All Black has been ruled out of this weekend's first test against Ireland after contracting Covid-19

Will Jordan has joined Crusaders teammates David Havili and Jack Goodhue in being forced into isolation for a week.



The Irish camp hasn't been immune either - outside back Mack Hansen's also tested positive.



Meanwhile, Ireland will be captained by former Counties Manukau midfield back Bundee Aki , against the Maori All Blacks in Hamilton tomorrow.



The Black Ferns will face off in a trial match next week in Pukukohe, in an important pre-World Cup hitout before the Farah Palmer Cup provincial competition.

Instead of 'Probables' versus 'Possibles', the game will be dubbed Ngalingali versus Rawata - 'possibles' in Tongan and Fijian.
