The All Blacks’ biggest success story of last season is set to potentially miss the entire Super Rugby Pacific campaign. It was confirmed today by the Chiefs that Wallace Sititi will require surgery for a knee injury, which was picked up on the end of year tour.<\/p>\n
Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan said Sititi would go under the knife on Friday, with the full extent unknown until next week.<\/p>\n
“I guess the fact that he’s having surgery means it’s reasonably serious,” McMillan said, adding that he was unsure of exactly when then injury occurred in the five test matches Sititi played on the tour.<\/p>\n
“But we won’t know how serious. (He’s) a huge loss, everyone’s seen how he’s played over the last 12 months and it’s never nice to lose players of that calibre. Every team in never immune to injury, you go through a competition on the strength of your squad.”<\/p>\n
