Dan Carter is a doubt for New Zealand's return match against Wales in Hamilton on Saturday with a tight calf.
The fly-half, who scored two tries in a 27-point haul in the 42-9 first Test blitz, was withdrawn from the game late on with a tight calf. The All Blacks will name their side for the weekend on Tuesday but are unlikely to take a call on their playmaker until later in the week.
"He'll have to have a couple of days of modified training," assistant coach Wayne Smith said. "We probably won't be able to make a decision until Thursday on him given the nature of the tightening of the calf. It's not actually a calf pull or anything like that, it's just a tightening. But we've got to make sure it's right. We'll play him if he's right. If he's not right we won't play him."
