Hurricanes star Eaton has been capped 10 times by the All Blacks
|
All Blacks lock Jason Eaton will miss this year's World Cup after tearing knee ligaments in a Super 14 match.
Eaton fell awkwardly during a 22-21 win by the Hurricanes over the Highlanders and suffered cruciate ligament damage.
He is the third All Blacks lock to sustain a serious injury recently, with the World Cup due to start in France in just over four months.
James Ryan has also been ruled out with a knee problem, and Chris Jack's season is over after a hamstring injury.
Eaton, 24, said: "Obviously, I'm very disappointed. I'm seeing a surgeon next week and we will take things from there.
