Highlanders centre Malakai Fekitoa has been called into the New Zealand squad ahead of the third Test against the British and Irish Lions.
Fekitoa, 25, has made 23 appearances for the All Blacks, but the last of those was in November 2016.
He comes into the squad as a potential replacement for Sonny Bill Williams, who is facing a suspension after being sent off in his team's second Test loss.
