Quinn Tobaya’s injury is more serious than announced
The fifteenth world kicked off Brenos XV Rose Shield 2023 World Cup…
The match of the fifth day of the Rugby Championship between the All Blacks and the Wallabies was notably marked by the serious injury of New Zealand player Quinn Tupaea after a very poor gesture from Australian second row Darcy Swain. The first reviews spoke of a three-month absence, but it seems more serious for the All Black Center.
In fact, a message was posted Thursday on the All Blacks Twitter account, stating that Quinn Tupaea will not play any matches of the 2023 Super Rugby season, increasing his unavailability from three months to nine months. The player has undergone additional tests showing more severe damage than expected “at the level of the ACL”. Which will also bring Queen Tobaya in for surgery.
Does this nine-month absence now condemn the New Zealand international to abandoning the 2023 World Cup? We’ll have to see if he’s able to bounce back in time.
To summarize
Day 5 of the Rugby Championship between the All Blacks and the Wallabies was notably marked by a large injury to Quinn Tupaia after a very poor gesture from Australian second row Darcy Swain. And for the All Black center, things are even worse than expected.
