Veteran lock Brodie Retallick was on Monday named in the New Zealand squad for the Rugby World Cup, despite an injury scare at the weekend.
Retallick, who has won 103 caps, went off in the first half of Saturday's 23-20 home win over Australia with a knee injury, but was included in the 33-man squad for the World Cup in France beginning next month.
New Zealand face South Africa in a warm-up match in London on August 25 with their opening World Cup match against hosts France in Paris on September 8.
New Zealand will also play Italy, Namibia and Uruguay in Pool A.
