JOHANNESBURG, Aug 14 (Reuters) - New Zealand have suffered another injury blow on their Greatest Rugby Rivalry tour of South Africa after wing Caleb Clarke was ruled out of the test series with a ruptured tendon in his shoulder.
Clarke was injured in the 54-0 victory over the Sharks in Durban on Tuesday and will return home. Coach Dave Rennie has decided against naming a replacement at this stage.
Clarke is the third All Blacks player ruled out of the tour through injury after hooker George Bell sustained a calf injury in training and centre Billy Proctor also sustained a shoulder injury.
New Zealand play the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday in their latest tour fixture. The four-test series against the Springboks begins in Johannesburg in August 22.
