All Blacks prop George Bower has been ruled out of all rugby for the rest of the year due to a knee injury.

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson confirmed Bower's ACL injury will sideline him for the remainder of 2023, adding to his squad's significant injury toll.

Bower's loss will also be keenly felt by the All Blacks, who will be without the prop's services for the upcoming Rugby World Cup.
