WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Highlanders winger Waisake Naholo will be sidelined for up to eight weeks after suffering a fracture to his right leg during the Super Rugby match against the Blues last Friday.
Naholo broke the same leg when playing for New Zealand against Argentina in July. He recovered just in time for last year's World Cup, crediting that partly to treatment by a faith healer in his native Fiji.
Highlanders medical staff said Naholo will not return to Fiji for treatment on his latest injury.
Doctor Greg Macleod said the new injury ''is not as bad as his last fracture. He is already managing well and it's expected his rehab will take six to eight weeks.''
