Utility forward Greg Eastwood has been ruled out of the rest of the Kiwis' Four Nations rugby league campaign after breaking a bone in his left hand during last Saturday's record 62-12 win over France in Toulouse.
The Leeds-bound 22-year-old said the injury happened when he fended off a French player soon after being brought onto the field from the interchange bench in the 25th minute of the game.
He had a cast put on his left arm last night after x-rays revealed a fracture in his scaphoid. He's expected to be in plaster for six weeks.
With 11-test international Steve Matai (eye) also ruled out, the Kiwis will be without two of their most experienced players for Saturday night's clash against England at Galpharm Stadium in Huddersfield.
