MacDonald out for New Zealand

Leon MacDonald has been ruled out of the third Tri-Nations test against Australia, a match the All Blacks must win to avoid defeat in the tournament.

The 30-year-old full back is still suffering from the effects of a concussion and the All Blacks don’t want to take any risks ahead of their crunch game with the Aussies.

Mils Muliaina is expected to come into the side to replace MacDonald.
