The injury gods are not smiling on Nehe Milner-Skudder. The former All Black joined the Highlanders in May and hoped to get on the field for the Super Rugby Aotearoa competition. But that now looks unlikely as he has picked up a knee injury. It was hoped to get Milner-Skudder to play club rugby for Zingari-Richmond today and prove his fitness for next week’s final match of the Super Rugby Aotearoa competition against the Hurricanes at Forsyth Barr Stadium. But that now looks unlikely, although Highlanders coach Aaron Mauger said there could still be a chance to get back into the side.
