His foot was facing the wrong way and was stretched off by a well known Brisbane orthopedic surgeon so yeah I'd say that is rough.

The commentators said the Dr put the foot back in place on the field. I believe getting that blood flow back early helps dramatically.

Where has Cale come from? Feels like completely out of nowhere. Was he playing this well last year? I see that he played 4 games, starting 3 times and all were losses. Maybe why I didn't notice him.
What a weapon. Keen to see him tested at a higher level, Brumbies have not felt Samu's absence at all.

He's been with the Brumbies for a few years now, moved to Canberra in 2021 and was part of the EDS before being promoted last year.

Certainly looks to have modelled his game on Samu, even plays in the same 5m channel out wide

Charlie was the Player of the Year in the local JID comp in 2022. You might keep an eye on Declan Meredith too. He was POTY in the JID comp last year.
While I've not been calling for his elevation to the Wallabies just yet, on his outstanding form this year I reckon he has to get some time at least against Georgia just for the experience.

Hes been great, but would like to see him bulk up a bit before he sees any international minutes.
Gainline is so so important at international level, and I haven't yet been blown away by his tight carrying.
Still a year or two away for mine.
Agree with this. I think with McReight at 7, and Frost likely at 4, more girth is required at 6/8 or we'll get scrummed / mauled to death.
Balance works well for Brums with Hooper at 7, Cale at 8.

His tight carrying is probably equal with Wilson IMO. Wilsons ball handling is exceptional and combo with McReight is great.
I do get the point especially with McReight likely to be the Wallabies 7 even though I think he more than handles himself in the contact area.
Cale with another 5kg on his frame will be problem for defences. He looks like an exceptional athlete so it won't slow him down to the point he loses it.

Happy to see him in the squad but I don't think we are in a position to treat any game as a development opportunity.

From the crimes today.
“Larkham was excited to welcome vice-captain Andy Muirhead back to the training paddock on Tuesday following his knee injury and broken nose in the Brumbies' round four win over the Highlanders that also saw Len Ikitau pick up ligament damage to his knee.
The coach said centre Ikitau is still a few weeks away from returning, as is key prop and skipper Allan Ala'alatoa (Achilles injury), but there were positive signs for outside-back Ben O'Donnell (ACL tear), "re-integrating into training" in recent weeks.”

The Brumbies Head of Performance Health, Byron Field has provided an update on the injury front from last weekend's win over the Hurricanes at GIO Stadium.
Blake Schoupp sustained a shoulder injury and is to see a specialist. Time out of the game has yet to be determined.
Corey Toole injured an ankle and the club is expected to find out how long he might be out later in the week.
Allan Ala'alatoa, Ben O'Donnell, Len Ikitau and Andrew Muirhead all returned on the weekend from injury and apparently are ok. No mention of Len's potential HIA.
