Injury takes Sititi out of France series
An injury change for the All Blacks with Chiefs loose forward Wallace Sititi out for the upcoming French series and possibly beyond as well.
Sititi was seen by a surgeon regarding a high ankle injury and it has been determined that he will require surgery, ruling him out of the July series.
LATEST HEADLINES:
A further medical assessment will be made in three weeks to determine his likely return to play.
Crusader Christian Lio-Willie has come into the squad to replace Sititi, and Dalton Papali’I has replaced Lio-Willie as injury cover for Luke Jacobson.
There are three tests against the French side which has been named with limited fanfare as the squad is missing a large number of top names who are committed to club sides.
The first test is Saturday 05 July at Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin with a 7.05pm kickoff.
The second test is in Wellington at Sky Stadium Saturday 12 July followed by FMG Stadium in Hmilton the next Saturday.
