Luckless All Blacks winger Nehe Milner-Skudder will miss up to six months of rugby after dislocating his shoulder in the All Blacks' 25-24 win over the Springboks in Cape Town yesterday.
Milner-Skudder was hurt after he landed awkwardly shortly before halftime with All Blacks coach Steve Hansen confirming late last night he would require surgery and be out of action for up to six months.
It's the latest in a long, painful list of setbacks for Milner-Skudder, having dislocated his left shoulder in early 2016 and then broken a bone in his foot during the early stages of this year's Super Rugby campaign.
Milner-Skudder will now focus his attentions on becoming available for the Hurricanes in time for their first Super Rugby match of next year's competition when they play the Bulls in Pretoria on Sunday 25 February.
