There will be no Super Rugby for Nehe Milner‑Skudder on Saturday.
The Hurricanes fullback injured his foot in their 26-18 loss to the Chiefs last weekend.
Hurricanes backs coach Jason Holland says it is a shame for Milner‑Skudder who missed much of last year with a shoulder injury, then round one of this campaign with a hamstring niggle.
Jordie Barrett looms as Milner‑Skudder's most‑likely replacement for what promises to be an interesting game on Saturday.
The Hurricanes copped a bit of a bloody nose against the Chiefs. Arguably a timely one, after the scant opposition the Sunwolves and Rebels had offered in the first two weeks of the season.
The Hurricanes will host the Highlanders at 6.35pm Saturday.
