Coles has been struggling with concussion symptoms which ruled him out of the British and Irish Lions tour in June. and then against France a fortnight ago he ruptured his ACL.

With Coles out, Taylor will be starting his seventh Test this year when the All Blacks face Wales on Sunday morning (NZ time) and is hoping to finish the season with a bang.
