The Crusaders have suffered yet another loss in the front row with Joe Moody the latest All Black to be sidelined by injury.
The 30‑year‑old prop has been scratched from Sunday morning's Super Rugby clash with the Stormers in Cape Town after failing to overcome a knee injury he originally picked up against the Bulls last week.
Moody was forced from the field early in the second half of 45‑13 win due to the injury and required stitches to heal the deep cut to his left knee.
As a result, Moody has been sent home to Christchurch early to heal with coach Scott Robertson saying he could be a "potential option" for next week's clash with the Blues at home.
The Crusaders will play the Stormers at 3.15am Sunday in the Super Rugby.
