PARIS (Reuters) - New Zealand winger Rieko Ioane is suffering from the viral disease mumps and been isolated from the rest of the All Blacks squad as they began preparations in Paris on Monday for the weekend test against France.

Ioane's diagnosis is unrelated to the earlier case of mumps suffered by centre Jack Goodhue, which forced him to delay his departure for New Zealand’s month-long European tour.
