JOHANNESBURG, Aug ⁠14 (Reuters) - New Zealand have suffered ⁠another injury blow on their ‌Greatest Rugby Rivalry tour of South Africa after wing Caleb Clarke was ruled out ​of the test ⁠series with a ⁠ruptured tendon in his shoulder.

Clarke was ⁠injured in ‌the 54-0 victory over the Sharks in ⁠Durban on Tuesday and will return ​home. Coach ‌Dave Rennie has decided against ⁠naming a ​replacement at this stage.

Clarke is the third All Blacks player ⁠ruled out of the tour ​through injury after hooker George Bell sustained a calf injury in ⁠training and centre Billy Proctor also sustained a shoulder injury.

New Zealand play the Bulls in Pretoria on ​Saturday in their ⁠latest tour fixture. The four-test series ​against the Springboks ‌begins in Johannesburg in ​August 22.
