AUCKLAND (Reuters) - All Blacks coach Steve Hansen's injury concerns continued on Thursday with winger Israel Dagg set to join a growing list of players ruled out with long-term problems.

Dagg missed selection for Saturday's Rugby Championship match with South Africa due to a long-standing knee injury and Hansen told reporters the prognosis "does not look great".
