A shoulder injury has ruled the Kiwis hooker Thomas Leuluai out of Saturday's Four Nations final against Australia in Wellington.
The Warriors utility started in New Zealand's wins against Austalia and England, but sustained a shoulder injury, as well as a badly gashed face, during the match in Dunedin.
Issac Luke has been promoted from the bench to start at hooker, with utility Lewis Brown joining the playing line-up.
Apart from Leuluai, the Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney has stuck to the same team that held out the English, taking the precaution of naming back Gerard Beale and forward Bodene Thompson as 18th and 19th men.
Several other players emerged from the weekend with injury concerns, but Tohu Harris (shoulder), Dean Whare (foot) and Jason Nightingale (face) are all expected to line up as named.
