(Reuters) -All Blacks lock Patrick Tuipulotu looks likely to miss New Zealand's second Rugby Championship test against Argentina this weekend after being taken to hospital in the wake of the 41-24 win over the Pumas last weekend.

Assistant coach Jason Ryan said the veteran second-row forward sustained a head knock after replacing skipper Scott Barrett in the 56th minute in Cordoba last Saturday.
