Not again.

All Blacks flier Nehe Milner-Skudder has once again been dealt a cruel injury blow, after he dislocated his right shoulder in yesterday’s Rugby Championship win over the Springboks.

The Hurricanes winger now faces up to six months on the sidelines, ruling him out of the rest of the All Blacks’ season, so soon after reclaiming his spot in their Test side.

The highly-rated star fell awkwardly shortly before half-time of Saturday’s thrilling 25-24 Rugby Championship victory over South Africa at Newlands and will undergo surgery.

Milner-Skudder has suffered with a number of problems since the 2015 Rugby World Cup, playing very little rugby in the last two years. This latest one will come as another devastating blow.

UPDATE: Steve Hansen confirms @Nmilnerskudder dislocated shoulder. Will require surgery. Expected to be out for upto six months.
