Chiefs hooker Samisoni Taukei'aho has been called into the All Blacks squad as injury cover, with Asafo Aumua out due to concussion symptoms.
The 23-year-old Taukei'aho will slot into the back-up hooker spot behind veterans Codie Taylor and Dane Coles after Aumua reported concussion symptoms following the All Blacks' 102-0 thrashing over Tonga on Saturday.
Coles was handed the start against Tonga, with Aumua coming on in the 47th minute.
Born in Tonga, Taukei'aho impressed New Zealand scouts as captain of the Tonga U15s side's tour of New Zealand and was offered an international scholarship to Hamilton's St Paul's Collegiate. He has since represented New Zealand at schoolboy level.
