Injured Jordie Barrett Uncertain for Upcoming England Test.

New Zealand's Jordie Barrett has hurt the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, raising concerns about his availability for the All Blacks' upcoming northern hemisphere tour.

Jordie Barrett, 27, is set to join Irish team Leinster in December on a temporary contract. He left the field limping at halftime during New Zealand's recent 31-28 victory over Australia.

An All Blacks representative confirmed, "Jordie Barrett won't play this weekend and will be evaluated before the upcoming northern tour."

New Zealand is scheduled to face England on November 2, followed by matches against Ireland, France, and Italy over the next three weekends.
