Mark Reason is claiming that Whitelock and Mo'unga will miss the next game against Australia, due to impending births.
I already thought he had Mo'unga wrong. This sounds right:

@stargazer Thanks. No shock Reason got it wrong!

Foster also confirmed other players – the Herald understands Crusaders lock Scott Barrett is expecting his first child – may return home early from the All Blacks' near four-month tour.
The All Blacks will reveal their initial travelling squad on Wednesday. Foster had already flagged his intent to leave injured players, including front-rowers Dane Coles, Joe Moody, Ofa Tuungafasi and midfielder Braydon Ennor, behind but with New Zealand in full lockdown for at least another week in some cases that may have changed too.

Maybe Mo'unga isn't wrong

Ha, yeah maybe. I may have incorrectly assumed the number of players unavailable for this reason (2) was correct. I had heard about Whitelock's wife and I'd seen photos of Smith's. If there are more than 2 players on parental leave, obviously that could include Mo'unga as well (I have no idea).

I know he's going to come in for some grief, but I'm prepared to cut Foster & Co. a little slack if the length of this tour means some of our best players elect to go home early.

He is certainly facing challenges no coach has dealt with before

Coles / Taylor would sound like the best two for this, although Cane may be back playing soon?
