New Zealand hooker Dane Coles has been ruled out for up to six months after suffering a ruptured ACL in their win over France on Saturday.
Coles’ injury was confirmed by the All Blacks on Twitter on Sunday, with Codie Taylor now set to take over as their starting hooker on tour.
The All Blacks’ other hookers on tour are Nathan Harris and Asafo Aumua, with their next fixture against a French XV in Lyon on Tuesday.
UPDATE: Dane Coles is to return home after rupturing his ACL in last night’s Test win over France. All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen says he will require an operation with likely 4-6 month recovery.
