Pulu called into All Blacks

Augustine Pulu has been called into the All Blacks to replace Aaron Smith for the final Bledisloe Cup match at Eden Park this weekend.

The Counties-Manukau and Chiefs halfback replaces the Highlander, who was stood down from the side.

Pulu was unlikely to take to the field however, with TJ Perenara and Tawera Kerr-Barlow both already in the squad.
