Hore set to miss Test against Ireland

Hooker Andrew Hore looks set to miss New Zealand’s Tests against Ireland and Wales in June after dislocating his shoulder during the Hurricanes’ 32-16 Super 14 defeat against the Waratahs.

Hore was forced from the field in the 22nd minute at Sydney Football Stadium yesterday and is facing at least six weeks on the sidelines, although it is possible he could miss the whole of the international season.
