Highlanders winger out for the season

Highlanders winger Lucky Mulipola is set to miss the entire Super 14 after suffering a broken arm in his team's 16-22 defeat to the Reds on Friday. Mulipola will have an operation on the injury in Brisbane, and Highlander coach Greg Moore said that he would miss the next two months of action at least. A decision on a replacement for Mulipola will be made only after the operation has been performed and a medical report received, but the news is a blow for the Highlanders as well as for the former Tasman winger. The Otago franchise has a dearth of experience in its squad, particularly in the backs, and Mulipola was to be one of the older heads in the side.
