Super Rugby teams round 13: Frost to No.6, Noah back for Brumbies, Aubrey starts for Reds, Pone in for Rebels
The Brumbies will be looking to push towards the top two when they host the lowly Crusaders, the Reds face the tough day time…
The Chiefs paid a heavy price for their 19-7 Super Rugby defeat of the Highlanders on Friday, with halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow breaking his jaw and set to be sidelined for six weeks.
Kerr-Barlow, who made his All Blacks debut last year, played the 80 minutes at Waikato Stadium but was later deemed to have suffered a break on the right side of his jaw.
A Chiefs statement on Saturday said the 22-year-old would undergo surgery next week.
A likely six-week recovery period would have him returning to action in early May.
Australian-born Kerr-Barlow played his first two All Blacks Tests on last year’s tour to Europe, coming off the reserve bench against Scotland and Italy.
Augustine Pulu is set to start at halfback for the Chiefs although former All Blacks No.9 Brendon Leonard is poised to re-enter the selection frame after fracturing his cheekbone in a pre-season match.
