TOKYO: New Zealand's Steve Hansen has welcomed World Rugby's slight modification to timing regulations for Head Injury Assessments , following confusion over the evaluation of flanker Sam Cane in Saturday's victory over South Africa.

The All Blacks say Cane could not get back from his HIA assessment in time because of the distance he had to walk within Yokohama Stadium for the testing. "World Rugby has also reiterated that if the time allowed for a temporary replacement elapses during halftime, the replacement shall become permanent unless the replaced player returns to the field of play immediately at the start of the second half.""It wasn’t through any fault of his that the test took longer than it should have ... it only took as long as it needed to take but it wasn’t anything we could control.
