Boric facing surgery

INJURED BLUES lock Anthony Boric may need to go under the knife to fix his damaged neck.

He has a bulging disc and has been told to rest until Super Rugby takes a break towards the end of May.

Medical staff will then re-evaluate his injury and if he is still struggling, Boric will have surgery which would take him out of the rest of the rugby season.

Boric will continue to train and sharpen his skills, but is not allowed to engage in any contact sessions for another two months.

Meanwhile utility back Isaia Toeava has decided to have surgery on his rare hip problem which ended his season.

He will undergo an operation in the next few weeks.
