The All Blacks say they are 'gutted' at key man Brodie Retallick being banned for two matches, ruling him out of Saturday’s Test against Wales at the Principality Stadium.
Second row Retallick, World Player of the Year in 2014 and a man with 99 caps to his name, was sent off during the 38-31 win over Japan in Tokyo on the weekend.
He received his red card in the 65th minute after driving his shoulder into the head of Japan back row Kazuki Himeno at a ruck.
