CHRISTCHURCH, June 16<\/span> (Reuters) – Wellington Hurricanes
\nscrumhalf TJ Perenara will sit out the remainder of the Super
\nRugby season after he broke his left ankle in a match against
\nQueensland Reds on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 20-year-old, whose superb form for the Hurricanes had
\nvaulted him into All Blacks contention, would need to have
\nsurgery on the ankle and was expected to be out for between four
\nand six months, the Hurricanes said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is devastating for TJ to have suffered this serious
\ninjury when he has been in such good form for the Hurricanes
\nthis season,” coach Mark Hammett said in a statement.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“But TJ is a focused and dedicated player so we know he will
\nwork hard in his recovery to come back better and stronger.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Perenara was injured while scoring a try in the 78th minute
\nof the 36-7 victory on Australia’s Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The match was not part of the official Super Rugby
\ncompetition, which is not being played during the three-week
\ninternational window as Ireland, England and Wales tour the
\nSANZAR nations of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Perenara was considered unlucky not to be selected in a
\nwider All Blacks training squad ahead of the June tests, with
\ncoach Steve Hansen saying they were aware of his ability but
\nwanted to see how he finished the Super Rugby season before they
\npromoted him to internationals.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Super Rugby resumes on June 29, with the sixth-placed
\nHurricanes to play the Canterbury Crusaders on June 30 in
\nChristchurch.\t<\/p>\n
