Kiwis can cope with RTS loss: Blair

New Zealand international Adam Blair says the Kiwis have the depth to cope with loss of injured star fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in next month's ANZAC Test.

New Zealand international Adam Blair is confident the Kiwis have the depth to cover for Roger Tuivasa-Sheck next month against Australia.

The Warriors' NRL star was an automatic selection at fullback for the Kiwis for the ANZAC Test on May 6 in Newcastle but is now out after a season-ending knee injury against Canterbury last weekend.

Blair says the setback is a personal blow for Tuivasa-Sheck but he believes a replacement like Peta Hiku can do the job against the Kangaroos.
