MELBOURNE (Reuters) - All Blacks flanker Matt Todd has been ruled out of Saturday's final Bledisloe Cup test against Australia after suffering a groin injury at training and been replaced by Ardie Savea on the bench.

Savea was rested for the final Rugby Championship win against South Africa but returns to the side as the All Blacks look to sweep the Bledisloe series 3-0 at Brisbane's Lang Park, the team said on Twitter.
