The dangerous wing Solomon Alaimalo has been ruled out for the rest of the Super Rugby Aotearoa season due to injury.

The 24-year-old dislocated his left shoulder during the 17-21 defeat to the Blues in Auckland last Sunday.

Alaimalo, who was one of the try-scorers during the controversial loss to the Blues, injured his shoulder after scoring and was forced to leave the field just short of the 50-minute mark.
