"Richard Cockerill confirms Matt Toomua having surgery on his knee and will be out for around six months. We wish him a speedy recovery," the Premiership club tweeted (@LeicesterTigers).

Toomua, who can play flyhalf or inside centre, was part of Australia's squad that reached the World Cup final last year.
