Blues lose Sonny Bill Williams

According to the New Zealand Herald, Williams will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after he sustained the injury during his side's  20-37 loss to the Stormers in Cape Town last week.

Williams' recovery time-frame will probably see him enter the All Blacks' three-test June series against France on minimal game-time.

The Blues will also finish the Super Rugby campaign without lock Scott Scrafton due to an ACL.
