Faumuina miss Day One action

Charlie Faumuina has missed the All Blacks' first day of training, ahead of their departure for the end-of-year tour.

Faumuina is staying behind in Auckland for 24 hours for personal reasons.

All Black coach Steve Hansen said it's not a distraction.

"He's just coming a day later, so he'll be there in plenty of time for training and available for selection."

Hansen has refused to reveal who will be considered for next week's test against the United States in Chicago.
