Prop Ellison suffers injury heartache

WELLINGTON prop Jacob Ellison looks set for a long spell on the sidelines after dislocating his elbow during Friday’s 64-7 win against Counties-Manukau.

Ellison appeared to suffer the injury when he was hauled down just inches from the try-line on the stroke of half-time during the match at Wellington’s Westpac Stadium.

“He’s a huge player for our team and a huge person within the team,” coach Jamie Joseph said.
