The All Black prop Tony Woodcock won't be rushed back into the side for this weekend's Bledisloe Cup match against Australia in Auckland.
Woodcock turned out for North Harbour last night in his first match for 3 months because of a foot injury.
Despite being a prop down because of John Afoa's fractured cheek bone, the All Blacks assistant coach Steve Hansen says they won't be rushing Woodcock into anything....
Hansen says Isaia Toeava and Israel Dagg are both likely to play in their provinces this weeeknd.
