Rugby: All Blacks’ Samipeni Finau ruled out while Jordie Barrett is a doubt for Italy clash

# Rugby: New Zealand flanker Samipeni Finau has been ruled out of Saturday’s clash with Italy in Turin after failing a concussion test. He came off early in their 30-29 defeat to France, after suffering a head knock with Peter Lakai playing the remainder of the match. Jordie Barrett, who left the field with a knee injury before halftime, is a doubt for the Test. Sam Cane will be available after recovering from a head knock he sustained in the victory over Ireland.
