Israel Dagg dislocating his ight shoulder during Hawke's Bay's Ranfurly Shield defence against Auckland, casting serious doubt on his potential to provide injury back-up to the All Blacks at the Rugby World Cup.

After exiting the game in Napier injured in the second half, accomplished fullback Dagg provided an update of his fitness on twitter. "Thanks guys just a dislocated shoulder I'm all good.. much love to my magpies men so proud.." Hawke's Bay went on to defend the Shield, winning 17-12.

Dagg, 27, is one of 12 All Blacks wider squad members who failed to win World Cup selection but were told to stay fit and be ready in case of injury to any players at the tournament.

The 49-Test veteran is one of three omitted players who could provide outside back cover, along with Charles Piutau and Cory Jane.
