Injury rules Drummond out for season

Canterbury halfback Mitchell Drummond is set to miss the remainder of the Mitre 10 Cup season, after sustaining a broken left fibula during training.

He will undergo an operation to insert a plate and screws, and aim to recover to play in the early stages of Super Rugby.

"Mitch is playing some great rugby for us at the moment so it is disappointing for the team and obviously for Mitch to see him have his season so prematurely ended," said Canterbury Head Coach Scott Robertson.

"But Mitch has a great attitude and work ethic so I know that he will bounce back from this injury and be back out on the field making a full contribution next year."
