Hurricanes and All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard has been ruled out of rugby for up to six months after it was confirmed he suffered a rupture to his left patella tendon on Saturday.
Roigard went down awkwardly in the second half of his side’s 47-12 victory over the Highlanders which saw the Hurricanes retain their perfect record start to Super Rugby Pacific season.
The club confirmed today that the 23-year-old underwent successful surgery in Auckland yesterday and will miss the rest of the Hurricanes’ campaign.
“Provided all goes well with his rehabilitation, he could be back as soon as six months from now,” the statement said.
