Rokocoko to undergo wrist surgery
Blues and All Blacks winger Joe Rokocoko is to undergo wrist surgery this week which will put him out of rugby for three to four months.
The Blues said on Monday Rokocoko had injured his right wrist during the Blues' game against the Western Force last month and would miss the rest of their campaign.
While the injury was not painful, it required surgery and would keep Rokocoko off the field for three to four months, Blues team doctor Stephen Kara said.
Rokocoko's recovery is set to impact on his All Blacks availability.
He will probably miss the June Tests against Ireland and England and may struggle to be ready for the Tri-Nations starting in July.
