All Blacks captain surgery

ALL Blacks captain Kieran Read will undergo surgery to repair a prolapsed lumbar disc in his back and will make a delayed return to rugby in the 2018 season. Read will have the operation on Saturday and will be sidelined for four months which means he will likely miss the start of the next Super Rugby season. In a statement yesterday, the Canterbury Crusaders Super Rugby team said Read’s injury “has been reviewed by both the All Blacks and Crusaders medical teams as well as a back specialist who will continue to monitor his recovery”. Read sustained the injury at the end of the All Blacks’ recent tour to Britain and was forced to miss its November 26 autumn test against Wales.
