Sonny Bill Willliams to miss French series
By Online Editors
The All Blacks have announced superstar midfielder Sonny Bill Williams will miss the June test series against France after he injured his knee at the training camp in Christchurch this week.
It is the latest of yet another high profile injury suffered at the controversial mid-season All Blacks camps. The team advised that he aggravated an old knee injury, and Blues medical staff say he will undergo a surgery today to clean up a loose piece of bone in his knee joint.
He will be out of rugby for "several weeks", after only returning recently from a broken wrist. His form for the Blues has been outstanding, leaving questions as to who will fill the 12 jersey for the All Blacks with Ryan Crotty a likely candidate to move in one position.
However, Crotty is dealing with a series of head knocks suffered in Super Rugby and has doubts of his own. The All Blacks have Ngani Laumape, Anton Lienert-Brown, and Jack Goodhue as cover.

End to end play, “THE FANS” this game was entertainment of the best. The conditions added to the spectacle.
Go to commentsSorry to say, but sadly the sadas were just ordinary and havilli at 10 as an abs selection just won’t cut it. He’s better suited in the centre’s and is a victim of past charge down kicks, he’s too slow under pressure. There’s better talent further north and I don’t mean dmac however I believe razor will sort him out. A feature of his presents on the park is the fact that the guys will follow him.
