TRANS-TASMAN Super Rugby 2021 - ITS AUNZ!
Appendicitis has ended Crusaders wing George Bridge’s already injury hit Super Rugby season.
The 26-year-old had his appendix removed on Tuesday, a day after first complaining of soreness. His post-surgery recovery is expected to take between four and six weeks.
Bridge is also having his right-knee evaluated after hurting it attempting to deny Brumbies No 8 Rob Valetini at the death in Christchurch last weekend.
“He's had a bit of a tough run, old Georgie...that’s his comp [done],” Crusaders coach Scott Robertson said.

I cannot see the Chiefs getting up over the Brumbies this evening.

Joke reffing. Yellow in any world.
Why would he be worried about dishing out another yellow immediately after the first one?

Well, he just showed us that he can. And he carried on the sympathy with no card for the penalty try.

As an aside, the Tards have looked a lot better in offence than their Aus Soup season.
