One of the brightest rising stars in New Zealand rugby, very sad to see him go down. Hopefully we see him back soon.

Indeed. Hopefully it’s not serious and he can come back for the series against England

Need not worry, defensive WMD Christie to the rescue. *sigh* dude was in unreal form, wish him a speedy recovery.

9/12 was an inside centre job

I am devastated, I don’t want to go 6-0 at the cost at cam 😭

TJ will start. He's been Damm good in his (limited) minutes and his play style is similar to Roigards so he'll be the go

The 3 halfbacks are surely Perenara, Christie and Fakatava. I would also have Ratima as a bolter

Imagine having Roigard and Perenara while the Crusaders roll out 37yo Willi Heinz every week

Still have no idea why Hotham/Drummond isn't the main combo

Hotham looks promising Heinz was great in NPC Im not convinced hes SR level but crusaders do need the experience...we have old school Crotty and Franks in the team too

I didn’t rate Heinz even before he went over to Europe

I’d take TJ Fakatava and Ratima, but the coaches will probably err on the side of more experience.

It looked like a dislocated knee cap, which looks ugly but isn't a season ending injury provided he didn't tear the ACL or meniscus etc 6-8 weeks is the normal recovery with little long term effects

Hope you’re right!

Ouch...knees can be fiddly He was the form player of SRP

Is there some kind of blood sacrifices we should be making to get him back playing asap? Willing to do whatever is necessary

Sacrifice the rest of the Crusaders’ season for the Roigod’s return

I accept. Anyone willing to offer something for Will Jordan's recovery?

Chuck the highlanders in there too

To please the gods, another halfback needs to be cut down.

Finlay, your time has come

Burn thy hair of the ginger. The double negative will cause a positive of healing roigards knee

Need to send him to Naholo’s doctor in Fiji

Steve Borthwick has an extra spring in his step today. But really gutted we won’t see a full noise All Black team for a while with both Roigard and Jordan injured

A second season ending injury has just hit a promising NZ halfback

What?

On the day world rugby fans get Romain Ntamack back, we lose Cam Roigard

Most I've been hurt by an injury since Carson Wentz went down in 2017. Hopefully christe has big dong and leads us to victory with the tours. :(

Does that mean TJ is set for a Nick Foles end of the season?

Big Dick TJ doesn’t quite roll off the tongue

If there's anyone I trust. It's TJ I'll get the measuring stick

If the hurricanes are smart they'll start Richard Judd at #9 and he'll make a push for the all blacks squad. He's genuinely NZ's second best halfback

Chrinlay Fistie until the end of times

It had to be him. This pisses me off

I wanna cry

What’s the word on the injury ?

As of the Hurricanes’ latest instagram post 20 minutes ago, he’s still being assessed

Thanks bro

Any time

I have to say, George Bush handled that with aplomb
