Hurricanes midfielder Peter Umaga-Jensen has been flown into the All Blacks squad as cover for Reiko Ioane on the eve of the second Bledisloe Cup Test at Eden Park.

The move is precautionary with Ioane, who has a tight hamstring, remaining on the bench and no changes being made to the match-day 23.

If injury does force Ioane out, then Umaga-Jensen would be in line to make his Test debut.

Any updates can be expected tomorrow.
