New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter has been ruled out of his country's third Test against Ireland on Saturday with a hamstring problem.
The 30-year-old will be replaced by Aaron Cruden for the match in Hamilton as the All Blacks look to seal a series whitewash.
"Dan pulled up with a sore hamstring after training on Tuesday," said coach Steve Hansen.
"On assessment, he has suffered a mild hamstring strain to his right leg which has unfortunately ruled him out of this weekend's Test.
"He will undergo further assessment over the next few days to determine when he will be fit to return to rugby."
New Zealand have previously beaten the Irish in Auckland and Christchurch.
