Wellington's Jason O'Halloran will rejoin the All Blacks on their European rugby tour.
He is expected to arrive at Marseille at the end of the week following his mother's funeral.
O'Halloran, selected for the All Blacks for the first time, made his debut against the Pacific Barbarians in Tokyo on November 3.
He flew back from Tokyo to be beside his sick mother, who died after his arrival home.
