Payne out of B&L Lions opener
New Zealand-born Irishman Payne had been named on the bench for Saturday's game against the Provincial Barbarians in Whangarei but his spot will be taken by England's Elliot Daly.
Daly was one of the stars of England's Six Nations success this year.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks are sweating on hooker Dane Coles' fitness after he was omitted from the Hurricanes team to face Western Force on Saturday.
Coles has not played since March 18 and is struggling to shake off concussion symptoms.
Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd rated the 49-Test All Black a "doubtful starter" for the Super Rugby team's match against Chiefs next week.
"I know he made some progress last week but… I think it would be unlikely that he's going to get through enough before next week for him to come into contention for selection," Boyd said.
The All Blacks' first Test against the Lions is June 24 after a June 16 warm-up against Samoa, leaving Coles little time to get match-fit.
