Wallabies coach John Connolly is furious Chris Latham will miss the entire Super 14 season because of injury
A war of words is brewing between Wallabies coach John Connolly and his predecessor, current Queensland coach Eddie Jones.
Connolly is furious fullback Chris Latham will miss the entire Super 14 season after injuring his knee during a training game with the Reds.
He was meant to be sitting out contact situations so Connolly is demanding a report from the Reds over what happened.
Jones says he never knew of any protected players and it was a freak accident and nothing could be done.
Latham himself is staying upbeat about the injury, and is confident he will be right for Australia's tilt at the World Cup in September..
He says like everything in his career, he has found a positive - his body will be well rested when he returns.
Chris Latham says he has just come off two of his best seasons and now come World Cup time, his body will be in prime condition.

Queensland coach Eddie Jones says he never had any requests to rest Chris Latham after his knee injury
Queensland rugby coach Eddie Jones is staunchly rejecting suggestions he has ignored a request from John Connolly to rest some players out of contact situations during Super 14 pre-season training.
The comments come in the wake of Wallabies fullback Chris Latham's potentially season ending knee injury, which he sustained while working with the Reds.
Connolly is furious as Latham was supposed to be among a group of 22 players being rested. But Jones says he knew nothing of that.
He says he has never had any requests from the ARU and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Eddie Jones says freak accidents happen and that is what this is.
Connolly is demanding a full report from the Reds over how the injury occurred.

Well he is Australia's only good player Twiz.

Don't get me started.

George Gregan, Stephen Larkham, George Smith, need I go on?

 

[lockyno1]

Gregan- old, slow, useless
Larkham- good, Latham is better now. Larkham is a good player but he is past his best, Latham is in his prime.
Smith- maybe, but Waugh is the starting 7.
