Milner-Skudder to make Super Rugby return
- 3038
Former All Blacks wing Nehe Milner-Skudder will make a surprise return in Super Rugby Aotearoa, but it won’t be for the Hurricanes.
According to One News, the 2015 Rugby World Cup winner will instead turn out for the Highlanders in the competition contested by the five franchises.
The 29-year-old signed for Toulon last year but is yet to take the field for the French giants after he suffered an ongoing shoulder injury just before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the Top 14.
