Joe Blow
Peter Sullivan (51)
There doesn't appear to be much confidence in him making it back in any sort of decent physical shape.
While JON and Deans are harping on about there being no question as to who will captain the Wallabies at the RWC, I think they are full of it.
Of course there are huge question marks over him having played only one Super game all year, getting injured and playing on for 20 minutes with obvious pain.
Rocky was a very good test backrower before going to Leinster. He became, according to some, a great player whilst there which I concur with by the way.
But he has shown little of that form since returning to Australia and taking over the captaincy of the Wallabies.
It could be that Deans will try and nurse him through the RWC, much in the same way the Boks have done with Matfield at various times in the last few years. There are some other pretty handy backrow options for the Wallabies right now and surely it is not worth trying to carry any player if we have serious aspirations of winning the RWC.
Deans surely has a plan B and C but he cannot say so right now.
If none of the Australian Super sides are willing to pick him up then the decision has been made for Deans.
