Since Damian McKenzie went down with a knee injury that rules him out of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, speculation has been rife on who could fill the void in the All Blacks' 31-man squad.

RugbyPass has looked at potential fly-half candidates to replace the versatile back, whilst the possibility of selecting a full-back such as Will Jordan has also been raised.

Based on comments from All Blacks selector and former RWC-winner Grant Fox, some weight has been lent to the latter of those two proposals.

Speaking to Radio Sport, Fox was forthcoming with his opinion that New Zealand do not necessarily need to add a third fly-half to complement the duo of Beauden Barrett and Richie Mo'unga.
