But, speaking to the Waikato Times from Sydney on Saturday, McMillan, while unsure exactly “how acute” the injury was, was quietly confident Stevenson may well not be out of action for the multiple weeks that come with grade two or three hamstring tears. “He’s walking around today so potentially not as bad as what we initially thought, but obviously bad enough for him to come off the field, so he’ll be a day-by-day proposition, I think, in terms of his availability for the next game [against the Force in Hamilton on Saturday night],” the coach said.
We should get an injury update this week I would think.

The injury looked high on the hamstring too. My understanding, if it is a tear, high hamstring injuries can take a while. Of course, I could be full of shit.

100% high hamstring strains are worse if its a tear a lot worse.
Even if you are walking the next day it doesn't mean a quick recovery,I have had a couple of strains and a tear in my time high strains are niggly to get over.
I have had a few players I coach go through them as well.
Groins and calfs are shit as well to get over. -
Josh Lord will be good to go next week.

From today's Waikato Times:
Lord - a recurrence of his knee injury (not ankle), being assessed but likely to miss SR
Ah Kuoi - MCL, precautionary resting
Finau - no dislocation or break of AC joint, likely 3-4 weeks
Tupou - facial fracture
Stevenson - back training and could be able to play next roundEdit:
The Chiefs have also provided an update.

@Duluth Think he'd rather be third choice at the Chiefs. Surely Ioane's time is up at the end of this year?
What ? hardly play SR or potentially earning a start somewhere else to push for higher honours or get a lucrative overseas contract.
That doesn't make much sense to me 3rd choice at a franchise probably means going to eventually die away and just survive with no real nest egg for retirement. -

Not sure the Crusaders would want a guy who hasn't been able to stay on the field for the best part of 18 months either?
