A review will take place after the Wallabies reported more than 40 injuries and concussions this year | iainpayten tomdecent
Rugby Australia chief executive Andy Marinos says a cluster of four ruptured Achilles tendons in four months is “alarming” and confirmed the Wallabies’ horrific injury toll will be one of the key subjects in an independent end-of-year review.
Rennie has used 50 players in 14 Tests, which is the equal-most used in a season — along with the 50 players used in 2021. There have also been a number of Wallabies sidelined for long periods, including Samu Kerevi , Angus Bell , Matt Philip and Izzy Perese , and others who have missed multiple Tests with different ailments including stress fractures, soft tissue injuries and concussions.“It certainly has been unprecedented,” Marinos said. “I look at this list now ... the part for me that is puzzling, as much as it is concerning, is just the innocuous nature of some of these injuries. It has all come as a surprise.
But forensically understanding what percentage of the injury list may have been avoided will be the task of two independent reviewers. Marinos is finalising who will conduct the review. “At the same time, we are very aware of player load and management as we go through. It is really important that we get a head S&C locked in for the 2023 season. That’s a priority for us.”
“We know our medical staff here are doing everything they can to get the boys ready,” Holloway said. “We’ve just had a rough trot.
