All Blacks coach Ian Foster will need to wait until later in the week before he is fully aware of who will be on the plane to Sydney on Sunday for the Rugby Championship with a number of injuries to assess.

Prop Joe Moody, midfield back Peter Umaga-Jensen and lock Sam Whitelock are all going through concussion protocols, while Rieko Ioane is still dealing with a hamstring injury that forced him out of the second Bledisloe Cup test on Sunday.The partners of three players are all also expected to give birth in the near future.

"We've also got a couple of babies due and we'll get some more information about whether a few players might miss that first test and maybe join for the next one." Southern hemisphere rugby's governing body SANZAAR had allowed teams to name 46 players for the Championship, but Foster said his preference was to leave several in New Zealand to allow them to play the domestic provincial competition.
