    All Black Anton Leinert-Brown is recovering from a shoulder injury and will miss Waikato's NPC season-opener against Auckland at Eden Park on Thursday


    The midfielder was supposed to be available despite picking up the knock in the third test win over France.

    Further assessment has determined he needs a few more days to recover.

    Former All Black Lima Sopoaga has been named in the number 22 jumper for Waikato.
