Roigard fractured his right foot during the French series and will not travel to Argentina for the opening rounds. He joins fellow halfback Noah Hotham, who could be out for up to eight weeks with an ankle injury. Tasman's Finlay Christie was scratched from today's NPC clash with Bay of Plenty, likely to be called in as a replacement. The All Blacks said that his likely return to play will be assessed in two weeks. New Zealand's squad for the Rugby Championship will be announced at midday on Monday.
