Aidan Ross suffers horrific season ending ankle injury
By Sam Smith
22 year old Aidan Ross has been ruled out for the season after suffering a serious ankle injury against the Hurricanes in Wellington last Friday night when his ankle was crushed under the weight of teammate Angus Ta’avao. He becomes the sixth Chiefs man to be ruled out for the season, and the sixth prop forward they have lost since the start of the 2018 campaign. Like Ross, fellow prop Moli was also ruled out for the season while Nepo Laulala, Kane Hames, Mitchell Graham, and Sefo Kautai are still working their way back to full fitness. Sam Pratley has been called into the squad as cover.

The capitulation of the ABs in the last 10 mins against England showed the same lack of leadership that we saw in the 2nd Test against the Boks last year. If you remember with 5 mins to go to the end of the game we won a scrum on or near our 10 yard line. Stupidly Aumua went down with a feigned injury, while the ABs went into a huddle to allow Savea to discuss actions. Of course Aumua going down STOPPED THE CLOCK - really DUMB! Instead of playing the scrum and slowing down to use up the clock made most sense. TJ kicked from the base of the scrum to the BOKs 10 yard line, again instead of playing ball along the back line and recycling to run the time down. Aumua gave away the penalty the rest is history.
