AUCKLAND: Auckland Blues prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi has been ruled out of the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman final against the Otago Highlanders on Saturday and is a doubt for the All Blacks July tests against Tonga and Fiji as he prepares to undergo knee surgery.
Blues loose forward Tom Robinson, who was stand-in captain for the absent Patrick Tuipulotu, has also been ruled out of the Trans-Tasman clash at Eden Park due to a head knock."It’s sad for Ofa, who is our longest-serving current player, while Tom has led us well this year when Patrick was injured,” Blues coach Leon MacDonald said in a team release.Flyhalf Otere Black was cleared to play after suffering a knock at training earlier in the week.
