Sonny was injured in the All Blacks opening game against Japan, damaging his Achilles tendon. And after being patched up in Brazil, the 31-year-old flew back to Auckland to undergo surgery on his leg.

The All Black favourite is expected to be out of action for the next six to nine months while his Achilles heals, but Sonny’s taking it all in his stride.

“Down but never out,” he wrote after being knocked from the competition. “Always praise to the most high for blessing me with so much!”

Get better soon, Sonny!
