 So'oialo won the last of his 32 Samoa caps against England last year |
Harlequins scrum-half Steve So'oialo has been ruled out for four weeks after suffering a broken hand during the defeat to Leicester last weekend. The 29-year-old Samoan picked up the injury just after half-time and had an operation on Monday.
Danny Care and Andy Gomarsall will now battle for the number nine shirt.
"To be without Steve for the next month will be a blow as he has been in tremendous form so far this season," said Quins boss Dean Richards.
"However, in Danny we have one of the most exciting young players in the country and Andy has joined the squad this week, meaning we have the necessary cover for the scrum-half position."
