    Ngani Laumape will return from three months out of rugby by coming off the bench in the third Bledisloe Cup test this weekend

    Ngani Laumape will return from three months out of rugby by coming off the bench in the third Bledisloe Cup test this weekend


    The Hurricanes midfielder broke his arm against the Crusaders in Super Rugby Aotearoa towards the end of July.

    He's been included in the All Blacks back reserves, where he'll sit alongside Rieko Ioane who missed the Eden Park test through injury.

    Coach Ian Foster says Ioane remains a midfield option for them, even with Laumape on the bench.
