Default transplanting hop rhizomes once they've sent up shoots?

I need to move my hop plants a very far distance, probably two days in transit, but they've already sent up a bunch of mini-bines. If I dig them up now and potentially kill the shoots, will they send up new growth still? I don't know how you "kill" a rhizome.

First year is iffy, as the rhizome has a limited amount of energy for growth. Older plants shouldn't give you any trouble. But, if you have to move them, move them.

They'll be OK. It's only a cultivated weed.
