Scrum-half Cobus Reinach is to return to South Africa due to the injury he suffered in Sharks' thrashing at the hands of Highlanders.

Cobus Reinach will play no further part in Sharks' tour of New Zealand and Australia after suffering a broken bone in his hand.

The South Africa scrum-half suffered the injury during Friday's 48-15 hammering at the hands of Highlanders in Dunedin and is to return to South Africa.

Conrad Hoffmann and Stefan Ungerer are in contention to deputise for Reinach for the remainder of the tour.
