The All Blacks have been hit by injury before their season has even kicked off, with Chiefs lock Josh Lord ruled out for the season with a ruptured ACL.

Lord missed four games for the Chiefs at the end of the Super Rugby season with a left knee injury and on Friday the All Blacks said an MRI scan had revealed an ACL rupture.

While the All Blacks are now left with just four locks in their 36-man squad set to face Ireland, there are no plans to bring in a replacement for Lord at this stage.
