All Blacks hooker Dane Coles is back training after an extended break with concussion symptoms, but isn't yet fit enough to be considered for test rugby. All Blacks coach Steven Hansen said it had been pleasing to hear positive news on Coles. AdvertisementThe 48-test hooker hasn't played rugby since being injured in the Hurricanes' March 18 Super Rugby match against the Highlanders. Because Coles had been out for so long, he wasn't fit enough for either test or Super Rugby, Hansen said. Hansen said Coles will return "when he's deemed rugby-ready and fit enough for the vigours of Super Rugby".
