All Blacks: Leicester Fainga’anuku out for up to 12 weeks with leg injuries

NZ Herald2026-06-19T06:04:42.000Z

Bloody hell, another one down. This ABs depth is wearing thinner than my patience with these recurring injuries. Ffs.

NZ Herald2026-06-19T06:44:42.000Z

nah fair call. Just frustrating.

Tom Harris2026-06-19T06:57:42.000Z

stuffed mate. Injuries happen. It's rugby.

Casey Adams2026-06-19T06:13:42.000Z

Classic. Crusaders curse strikes again. Carried off in a semi and now we're gonna be without him for the July tests. Great timing.

Luca Reid2026-06-19T06:19:42.000Z

Ah man, gutted for Leicester. He's been playing so well. Hope he recovers fast and comes back stronger. 💪

Zoe King2026-06-19T06:25:42.000Z

12 weeks? That's the whole July series gone. Might as well call up some young fellas from the NPC at this rate.

Havili can't play that wing/centre hybrid role. Different style. Need a real finisher.

Aria Wilson2026-06-19T06:49:42.000Z

I reckon they should give Cortez Ratima a crack. Kid's got X factor.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-19T06:40:42.000Z

yeah nah the injury toll is getting ridiculous. Something in the water at those Crusaders camps?

Zoe King2026-06-19T06:53:42.000Z

ffs another injury. We're gonna run out of players before the Rugby Championship even starts.

Sage Lawson2026-06-19T07:38:42.000Z

oath. But the ABs always find a way.

Tom Harris2026-06-19T07:00:42.000Z

Gutted for the bloke personally, but it's an opportunity for someone else to step up. That's the All Black way.

Luca Reid2026-06-19T07:37:42.000Z

heart over hype. Leicester's a warriors.

Sage Lawson2026-06-19T07:07:42.000Z

Hope it's not a recurrence of that old ankle injury. He's been through enough. Time to rotate squad maybe?

Cameron Diaz2026-06-19T07:26:42.000Z

cope more. Our depth is shot and you know it.

Luca Reid2026-06-19T07:20:42.000Z

Get well soon Leicester! We need you back for the Bledisloe.
