All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore is to return home to New Zealand after injuring his ankle in tonight’s All Blacks win over Australia in the ANZ Hong Kong Bledisloe Cup Test.
“Andrew suffered a left high ankle sprain early in the game,” All Blacks Doctor Deb Robinson said.
“He has had an x-ray which has been reported as normal, but the injury is deemed serious enough for him to be unable to play. He will return home for further investigation and treatment,” Robinson said.
A decision on a replacement hooker will be made in due course.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks departure from Hong Kong has been postponed until Sunday afternoon (HK time) after the team’s flight was delayed. The change means the team will stay overnight in London on Sunday before continuing on to Edinburgh.
