Moore to miss Perth Test

Moore to miss Perth Test

6 Sep 2012

Wallabies hooker Stephen Moore has been ruled out of the Rugby Championship clash against the Springboks on Saturday.

Moore sustained a hamstring injury at a training session on Thursday, and was subsequently sent for scans to assess the damage. Later on Thursday, Moore confirmed via Twitter that he would not be playing in Saturday’s game.

Tatafu Polota-Nau will now start in the front row, and Saia Faingaa will join the match 22 as hooker cover.

    Tatafu is as hard as nails and plays his rugby the same way, unfortunately for him he can’t throw a ball staight into a lineout is his life dependent on it…just watch him tomorrow.

    Will be interesting.

    Do also think Liebenberg extremely hungry for a shot and he is a bladdy mongrel! (in a good way)

    @Slartibartfast-7: Yes exactly for that reason Stephen Moore should be ahead of him. Pity he is injured though.

    @Slartibartfast-7: Although Moore is no slouch with ball in hand either. Topped the log for most fantasy points this year on Fox Sports Fantasy league. Last year it was the likes of SBW, Beale, Cooper on top.
