Launch fifteen world 6 countries calendar 2024
New Zealand will be in trouble. It turns out the All-Blacks have just lost their captain Scott Barrett for an indefinite period. Barrett injured his finger during Saturday’s win over Fiji and underwent surgery, the New Zealand FA said, but the All Blacks captain’s absence is currently uncertain. At the moment, the 30-year-old second-row’s participation in the 72-man squad is uncertain for the resumption of the Rugby Championship in August, a tournament between the four major rugby nations in the southern hemisphere.
Barrett indefinitely
The first match between New Zealand and Argentina is on August 10 in Wellington, so Scott Barrett is not at all certain whether he will attend the match between the two countries. Barrett injured his finger last Saturday during the New Zealanders' 47-5 win over Fiji during a match in San Diego (USA) as part of the All Blacks' summer tour. The injury “required surgical treatment upon return to New Zealand” and is “currently under evaluation”.
To summarize
New Zealand will be in trouble. It turns out the All-Blacks have just lost their captain Scott Barrett for an indefinite period. Barrett injured his finger during Saturday's win over Fiji and underwent surgery, the New Zealand FA said, but the All Blacks captain's absence is currently indefinite.
