    Summary of that and similar articles:

    • Joe Moody (ankle) out for at least two weeks, but it could be much longer if he requires surgery

    • George Bower (knee) out for the rest of 2023

    • Fletcher Newell (foot) out for the SR season, but expected to be available for the Rugby Championship

    • Finlay Brewes (shoulder) out for the SR season

    • Oli Jager (cut to his leg) will miss MP game; expected back for Waratahs game

    • Quinten Strange (hand) injured, but not a fracture and likely to be available for Waratahs game

    • Sam Whitelock (achilles) expected to be available for Waratahs game

    • Ethan Blackadder (calf) expected to be available for Waratahs game.
      Whitelock and Blackadder are basically ready, but they're held back for another week.

    @chchfanatic That's very disappointing to hear!

    A good signing for Toulon, but I reckon Leicester should've stuck around NZ for at least another couple of years.

    @Stargazer Crikey - we really can't afford Joe Moody's injury to be serious.

    There's not much behind Tamaiti Williams and Oli Jager.

    Obviously, still waiting for the official announcement, but this is the rumour:

    It was reported on Sky TV’s the Breakdown on Sunday night that Moana Pasifika’s best player, Levi Aumua is leaving the team next year to play for the Crusaders and he will sign a New Zealand Rugby contract.

    The Crusaders are believed to have beaten the Blues and Rugby Australia to sign Aumua.

    Wonder if Goodhue will move? Good be worth a punt on his fitness.

    Levi is a real unit and will be lethal pretty sure he is one of the most destructive ball runners in the competition.

    Planet Rugby takes a closer look at the players who are key to the rugby on show and who leads the individual statistics categories.

    Most defenders beaten, he is at the top of the competition.

    Great news, I would be a lot happier if LF was resigning.

    Not to be confused with re-signing.

    Well it looks like they are pinning their future hopes on Levi, would he be able to play in this year's world cup?
