Hawke’s Bay hooker Hikawera Elliot has been called into the All Blacks squad for the team’s tour to the United Kingdom and Ireland.
22-year-old Elliot replaces Andrew Hore who is returning home to New Zealand after suffering a left high ankle sprain in last night’s win over Australia in the ANZ Hong Kong Bledisloe Cup Test.
Elliot will meet up with the team on Monday evening (UK time) in London on the way to Edinburgh.
The All Blacks play Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday 8 November.
