橄榄球联赛世界杯揭幕战新西兰队彭加前臂骨折将接受手术
在10月15日于悉尼举行的橄榄球联赛世界杯揭幕战中，新西兰队以22比24惜败澳大利亚队，全卫卡林·彭加在比赛中前臂骨折，将接受手术，新西兰队的争冠前景受到打击。
彭加出生于澳大利亚，现效力于澳大利亚全国橄榄球联赛（NRL）的纽卡斯尔骑士队，是新西兰队的核心球员。28岁的彭加在下半场与澳大利亚队五分卫卡梅伦·芒斯特的一次冲撞中受伤。他坚持留在场上，打入个人本场第二个达阵，直到比赛第70分钟才离场。新西兰队队医格雷格·麦克劳德证实，彭加已安排手术，目前将继续留在队中。
新西兰队尚未正式宣布彭加退出本届赛事，但他再次登场的可能性很小。本届世界杯决赛定于11月15日举行。
New Zealand Fullback Ponga Breaks Forearm in Rugby League World Cup Opener
New Zealand fullback Kalyn Ponga will undergo surgery on a broken forearm suffered in the Rugby League World Cup opener against Australia in Sydney on October 15, a major blow to the Kiwis' title hopes. New Zealand lost the match 24-22.
Ponga, who was born in Australia and plays for the Newcastle Knights in the National Rugby League, is a central figure in the Kiwis side. The 28-year-old was injured in a second-half tackle involving Kangaroos five-eighth Cameron Munster. Ponga stayed on the field to score the second of his two tries after the tackle, before leaving the match in the 70th minute. Kiwis team doctor Greg Macleod confirmed Ponga had been booked in for surgery and would remain in camp for now.
New Zealand have not ruled Ponga out of the tournament, but he has little chance of playing again in the competition. The World Cup final is scheduled for November 15.
