The Crusaders medical team has provided the following update on the injuries to Joe Moody and Jack Goodhue, sustained in the Hurricanes game on Sunday.

Joe Moody

Joe Moody has had scans which have confirmed a significant injury to the soft tissues at the base of his big toe. At this stage, surgery is not required but this will be reviewed by a specialist in two weeks’ time. A return to play time-frame will become clearer at that time.

 

Jack Goodhue

Jack Goodhue has also had scans which have confirmed a significant knee injury, including an ACL rupture. He will require surgery, and is not expected to be available for any further rugby in 2021.

 

The update follows a week of bad injury news to come out of Super Rugby Aotearoa clubs. Ardie Savea is out for up to 8 weeks with a knee injury and the Highlanders' Connor Garden-Bachop will miss the remainder of the season with a broken wrist.
