Faumuina out for 4-6 weeks

Blues and All Blacks prop Charlie Faumuina probably won't play Super Rugby again until May after damaging his calf muscle.

A grade-two strain to his right calf suffered during the 30-27 loss to the Waratahs on Sunday in Sydney will sideline Faumuina for four to six weeks, according to a Blues statement.

The 26-year-old is on crutches and will undergo a scan on Tuesday to assess the full extent of the injury.

He made his All Blacks debut last year and played seven Tests, including two starts on the tighthead side.
