Hurricane's captain Andrew Hore's dislocated shoulder could keep him out of rugby for up to six months.
Hore suffered the injury in last night's Super 14 loss to the Waratahs in Sydney, and he had to leave the field midway through the opening half.
Outgoing Hurricanes coach Colin Cooper says the initial diagnosis after the game indicated he could be out for anywhere between six weeks and six months, effectively ruling him out of the All Blacks' June tests.
