Otago's Sean Romans will join the Junior All Blacks in Samoa to replace the injured Wellington halfback Alby Mathewson.
Mathewson has a shoulder injury and didn't fly out with the side yesterday but will re-join the team in Fiji for the Pacific Nations Cup competition, if he recovers sufficiently.
Romans will be on the reserves bench for the game against Samoa tomorrow afternoon.
A decision on a replacement player to cover Lelia Masaga, who's been called into the All Blacks squad, as cover for Rudi Wulf hasn't yet been made.
