Tialata and Robinson sit out training

Neemia Tialata

Five All Blacks are either sitting out of training or taking a limited park as the squad assembles in Auckland ahead of the European Tour.

At the top of the list is Neemia Tialata, who is not training at all today and will probably miss tomorrow's session as well. Tialata is still nursing a calf injury, which ruled the Wellington prop out of the Air New Zealand Cup final against Waikato in Hamilton last weekend. However, the All Blacks medical team is optimistic he will travel with the side.

Recalled lock Keith Robinson is also sitting out the session, after being given some recovery time after playing for Waikato in the Cup final

Leon MacDonald, Jerry Collins, and Piri Weepu have all taken a limited role in training this morning.
