8:04 am on 20 May 2010

There's been another injury blow for the All Blacks before the June Tests against Ireland and Wales with the second-five Ma'a Nonu the latest casualty.

Nonu ruptured the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the match against the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney.

The Hurricanes captain, the All Black hooker Andrew Hore, dislocated his left shoulder in the same match,.

Hore's likely to need surgery but at this stage Nonu is not expected to require an operation and could return to full training in about six weeks.
