 Spencer has surgery on his broken jaw |
All Blacks fly-half Carlos Spencer is to undergo neurological tests after suffering a number of heavy tackles playing for Auckland in the Super 12. Spencer was sidelined for several weeks earlier this season after having his jaw broken in a tackle.
He took another big hit in the Blues' 51-23 loss to the Stormers last Friday.
All Blacks coach Graham Henry said: "Obviously I have concerns about him, but I've got every faith in the medical people and the testing procedures."
Spencer stayed on the field against the Stormers after receiving medical attention but was clearly off his game.
Henry is currently formulating plans for his team to face world champions England in June.
After the England Tests, New Zealand play Argentina and the combined Pacific Islands team before Tri-nations matches against Australia and South Africa in July.
