McKenzie adds to growing All Blacks injury toll via SABCNewsOnline
Damian McKenzie is the latest to be side-lined after limping off with knee damage during Saturday’s bruising Super Rugby derby match between the Waikato Chiefs and Auckland Blues.
His fellow All Blacks Brodie Retallick and Nathan Harris also took severe knocks in the Chiefs’ 33-29 victory but their injuries were said to be not serious. Most of the currently injured All Blacks are among the 41 players named to attend the day-long camp which will “provide an opportunity for All Blacks management and our leading players to start building towards what is a huge year ahead”, said New Zealand Rugby’s high-performance chief Mike Anthony.
“We’re going to rescan in two weeks to see how the healing is going, to see how serious it is. But, at the moment, he won’t play for the next few weeks,” Canterbury Crusaders coach Scott Robertson said.
