Toulouse have suffered a blow with the news that South African hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury.

The 27-year-old ruptured cruciate ligaments in his right knee during his side's 16-6 Top 14 victory over the league's bottom side Biarritz last week.

According to AFP, Ralepelle will undergo a knee operation in the coming days, with the club saying it was too early to say whether they would bring in an emergency replacement for the season run-in.
