Montpellier's All Black out for months

Montpellier's New Zealand lock Tom Donnelly has dislocated his shoulder and will be out of action  for two months, the Top 14 club announced on Friday.

Donnelly, 33, was injured five minutes into last Saturday's 34-24 win over Bordeaux-Begles but a surgeon has ruled out the need for an operation.

The former Highlanders and Crusaders player, capped 15 times by the All Blacks, will miss his club's next five games.
