New Zealand flanker Samipeni Finau failed a concussion test after a head-knock in the tight loss to France and has been ruled out of the Italy clash in Turin on Saturday, All Blacks coach Scott Robertson has confirmed.

Finau came off early in the 30-29 thriller last Saturday, replaced by Peter Lakai who scored a try in his second test.
