KEY POINTS:
Andy Ellis is recovering slowly after a clash with Otago's centre Brett Mather during Canterbury's win over Otago last Saturday.
Ellis has no memory of the game and is still dizzy and nauseous.
But All Black coach Graham Henry is confident Ellis will be fit and well for the World Cup.
"I talked to him a few days ago and he seemed fine. These things take time," Henry said.
Ellis had a psychometric test earlier this week and "wasn't quite there", said All Blacks media spokesman Scott Compton. Compton said medical staff are monitoring him and Ellis will have a second test soon.
Somerville's eyes open
Greg Somerville has been officially named as the 30th All Blacks squad member.
The naming of the final squad was put off while Somerville recovered from a displaced retina.The 55-test veteran was injured in the first round of the Air NZ Cup last month.
Meanwhile, Neemia Tialata is back to light training duties after being knocked out by a punch from Hawkes Bay prop Clint Newland two weeks ago.
