Shanto hopes Bangladesh 'do it' in South Africa after Darwin conquest
"I don't want to point finger at anyone in particular but we played poorly as a team," Shanto said after the two-day loss in Mackay
New Zealand has enlisted experienced veteran Ofa Tu ungafasi and fresh rookie Jamie Hannah as injury replacements following Saturday's intense 33-16 victory over South Africa in the inaugural test of a historic four-test series. Tu ungafasi, who last played for the All Blacks two years ago, and Hannah, making his debut against France earlier this year, were drafted in to replace injured players Ethan de Groot and Josh Lord.
De Groot and Lord suffered a head-on collision in the 38th minute of the test match held in Johannesburg. The 34-year-old Tu ungafasi and 23-year-old Hannah are anticipated to join the New Zealand squad on Monday prior to the tour's concluding club match against the Lions. Both de Groot and Lord failed head injury assessments and are improbable to play in the second test scheduled for the following Saturday under the present concussion protocols.
