New Zealand tests to have shot clock at stadiums after McKenzie mishap

New Zealand flyhalf Damian McKenzie will have no excuse to be timed out again when kicking for points following an announcement on Tuesday that shot clocks will be installed at the All Blacks' remaining home tests.

McKenzie had a 79th-minute penalty cancelled against England in Dunedin on Saturday when he failed to take his kick in the allotted minute.

The mistake relinquished possession to the tourists and the All Blacks endured a nerve-jangling finish before they held on for a 16-15 win in the series-opener.

The second and final test against England on Saturday will have a shot clock on the big screen at Eden Park, New Zealand Rugby confirmed on Tuesday.

"This will also be in place for all home test matches in 2024," the governing body said.

McKenzie said a shot clock at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr stadium might have saved him blushes last weekend but took responsibility for his error.

"I'm not pointing the finger at anyone, it's completely on my shoulders," he said after the game.

"I have got to sort that out around my process, and speed things up."
