New Zealand's record try scorer Will Jordan ⁠has suffered a hamstring tear and could miss the rest of ​this month's ​Nations Championship but Jordie Barrett has come through his concussion tests.

Jordan, who has a record 56 ​tries for the All Blacks, suffered the injury in the 43-21 win over ​Scotland ​at Murrayfield last weekend

All ⁠Blacks assistant coach Neil Barnes said ​they were “hopeful” Jordan could feature when they face England on November 21 and then in the ​finals weekend at Twickenham from November 27-29

Barnes told a press conference on Tuesday it ​was a minor ‌tear, and that Jordan's progress would be monitored through ​the week but he was not going to be considered for Saturday's clash against Wales in Cardiff

Barrett ‌failed his initial head injury assessment following a ​heavy head-to-shoulder ⁠collision at Murrayfield ​but has since passed his next two concussion tests

He is also not expected to feature against Wales, where ⁠the All ​Blacks are set to make many changes but ‌he should return for the clash against England.
