Seta Tamanivalu, fresh from the Barbarians' 31-31 draw against South Africa at Wembley, will replace Moala, the All Blacks said on their official Twitter feed.

After suffering their first-ever loss to Ireland in the 111-year history of clashes between the two teams, New Zealand face further Tests against Italy, Ireland and France.

Reports in New Zealand said Moala faces a long spell on the sidelines after tearing tendons from the bone in his elbow, while Crotty is likely to return for the France Test on November 27.
