All Blacks halfback Andy Ellis is to return home to New Zealand after suffering a rib cartilage injury in the All Blacks win over Scotland in Edinburgh.
"Andy suffered a torn rib cartilage on his right side during the match and had to leave the field," All Blacks Doctor Deb Robinson said.
"An ultrasound scan this morning (Sunday morning UK time) has confirmed he has an unstable rib and there is a risk of further injury if Andy continues playing," she added.
Dr Robinson noted that the injury Ellis had suffered was different to the rib injury that he sustained during the Philips Tri Nations.
