Scans this week will confirm the extent of the damage to Dagg's troublesome knee that saw him sit out last night's 57-0 mauling of the Springboks in Albany. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen admitted today the prospect of Dagg returning to the field anytime soon look grim. Doc is pretty confident if he gets the rest he'll be fine so it probably means he'll be out for the rest of the year."
