Hurricanes halfback Cam Roigard has suffered a rupture to his left patella tendon which will see the All Black sidelined for a lengthy period.

The injury occurred during the Round Six DHL Super Rugby Pacific game against the Highlanders last Saturday (30 March) in Dunedin.

The 23-year-old underwent successful surgery in Auckland yesterday (2 April) to repair this injury. Provided all goes well with his rehabilitation he could be back as soon as six months from now.

The Hurricanes are thankful for all the support and kind messages being sent Cam’s way.
