While Jake Gordon will be unavailable on injury to rugby championship, Nic White agreed to delay his international retirement to help the Wallabies.
Nic White has not yet finished with the Wallabies. Upstream of the third test match of the Australian selection against the British and Irish lions, which ended in a victory for the South Hemisphere team over the lawn of the Sydney Accor Stadium, the melee half announced that it would be its last international match. However, the plans changed at all when Joe Schmidt had to compose his group for rugby championship, that the Wallabies will start on August 16 with a trip to South Africa.
Indeed, if the former coach of Ireland wanted to play the card of continuity compared to the tour of the lions, he must adapt to the various injuries which punctuated these three meetings. One of them concerns Jake Gordon, who will not be able to hold his place in the group. Consequently, Nic White agreed to delay his international retirement being “again volunteer to help the group”.
Lynagh not recovered and forfeited
At 35, the player with 72 selections with the Wallabies will extend the pleasure. He will thus bring his experience to Tate McDermott and Ryan Longan, the latter having not yet been selected with Australia. The Brumbie player is thus one of the three players without international experience invited by Joe Schmidt to take place in the group for rugby championship. This also concerns the Brumbies Corey Tole winger and the pillar of Queensland Reds Aidan Ross.
At the hinge, the technical supervision of wallabies will also have to deal without the opener of the Tom Lynagh Reds. Victim of a shock to the head during an irregular clearing of Dan Sheehan, suspended four weeks for his gesture, the Australian number 10 did not respond favorably to the tests of concussion for concussion and will therefore be put to rest. Consequently, Tane Edmed takes place from the list of 35 players selected alongside James O’Connor and Ben Donaldson.
