"Replaced by Sione Molia," it said in a tweet.

Williams sustained the injury in a tackle during New Zealand's shock 12-14 defeat by Japan in their opening Pool C match at the Deodoro Stadium.

The injury puts into grave doubt Williams's likely availability for the All Blacks' opening Rugby Championship match against Australia on August 20.
