Chiefs flyhalf, Aaron Cruden is out of rugby for six months.
Scans have confirmed the worst for the Chiefs and All Blacks first‑five, with Cruden suffering a severe knee injury.
It will put him out of the Rugby World Cup.
Traditional reconstruction surgery has been deemed to be the most appropriate given Aaron’s young age and long‑term career prospects.
The expected return to play time for this sort of surgery is six months.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs will play the Force at 7.35pm this Friday.
