Chiefs suffer Kahui blow

14 May 2012

Richard Kahui will miss the rest of Super Rugby after dislocating his shoulder during the Chiefs’ 42-27 defeat to the Reds.

The centre picked up the injury during the closing stages of the first half in Brisbane. Jackson Willison and Andrew Horrell have been named as possible replacements in the midfield, which could see Sonny Bill Williams shift from inside centre to outside centre.

Kahui has been in fine form this year and was called up to the All Blacks training squad on Monday. However, he will be sidelined during the All Blacks’ June Test series against Ireland.

    This Super 15 is a different DRAGON and not for sissies, people dropping like flies across the board.

    Big blow for the Chiefs not such a big blow for All Blacks. They have many talented centres and wings. This might open the door for Fruean.

    @Sasuke(Sasuke)-2: You would think they would give him a chance …. lets be honest the SBW / Frueuan combo was excellent at the Saders last season

    @stew(stew)-3: not yet, EOYT for Fruean I feel..

    his workrate can be ordinary and he is still learning defensively, has to work on these plus his distribution, often doesnt pass when he should..

    shame for such a great player to be injury prone throughout his career..
