All Blacks star Wallace Sititi has been taken to hospital after a major head knock during the Chiefs’ Super Rugby Pacific qualifying final against the Queensland Reds in Hamilton.<\/p>\n
Midway through the first half, Sititi’s head made contact with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto’s shoulder before bouncing into teammate Sione Ahio during a charging run. <\/p>\n
Footage showed Sititi rolling into the recovery position before visibly shaking, with play stopped as medical staff attended to him.<\/p>\n
He managed to get to his feet before leaving the field on a medicab, and was later confirmed to have been transported to hospital by the Sky Sport commentary team.<\/p>\n
Salakaia-Loto was given a yellow card for his role in the incident \u2014 the video referee deemed the injury was caused by Sititi dropping low into the tackle before Ahio’s head made contact.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs were leading 8-7 at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All Blacks star Wallace Sititi has been taken to hospital after a major head knock during the Chiefs’…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17909,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-464182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-chiefs","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
