Poor old LJ is being sent home with concussion symptoms . Frizell is heading out, not sure if Squire was considered.

Looks like Williams may (lets be realistic, will) be joining him.
Speculation has been mounting in New Zealand that the veteran second five-eighths - a dual World Cup winner - is injured and is about to replaced by Ngani Laumape.

Former rugby television commentator Hamish McKay told Radio Sport he believed there would be announcement in the next couple of hours, confirming Williams was out and Laumape would take his place.

If it happens, can't say I'm surprised. He and Crotty have been obnoxiously injury prone this cycle. Nonu will be over there soon enough...
