Brodie Retallick, the starting Chiefs and All Blacks second-rower, suffered a fractured rib and is to be sidelined for six weeks. The Chiefs are to play upcoming matches in South Africa and Argentina without the All Black.
Retallick was injured playing at home against the Lions in round two. The injury will keep him out of Los Jaguares next match, a round four home fixture vs the Chiefs in Buenos Aires.
Additional doubts for the upcoming matches have seen Shaun Stevenson and Hika Elliot left out but there is a place for former All Blacks fly half, Stephen Donald who will tour.
