Ryder was punched and kicked as he left a bar in the South Island city of Christchurch early on Thursday morning after a night out drinking with his Wellington team-mates. Although his condition has improved sufficiently for him to be moved out of the hospital intensive care unit, the last thing he remembers is being dismissed in a cricket match on Wednesday.Former All Blacks coach Graham Henry said other teams may have to follow the rugby example and have security personnel accompany their players to bars. "They just keep an eye on things from a distance and make sure things are happening that should be happening and just look after them," he told Radio Sport. "So there's no opportunity for these sort of things to happen.Unfortunately Mr Ryder has no recollection of what took place or the events leading up to the incident," detective senior sergeant Brian Archer said after interviewing the player. Should Mr Ryder gain sufficient recollection as his recovery continues, then we may look to speak to him again, however there are no immediate plans to re-interview him at this time.
