Australia’s second-row powerhouse Will Skelton is set to feature in the Wallabies’ Rugby Championship squad after admitting he was “hurt” by being overlooked for Test honours against England.
His impact off the bench for his club had France and Barbarians coach Fabian Galthie scratching his head over how Australia had declined the chance to recall the 140kg, 203cm second-rower for the England series.Herald Under the revised Giteau Law protocols, Rennie can only have three overseas-based players per series, meaning he would have to swap out one or more of the current three - Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi and Marika Koroibete - to make room for Skelton or Arnold.
Skelton and Arnold’s clubs are still playing in the French domestic league, and Rennie may have wanted to give them time to recuperate before enlisting them for The Rugby Championship.
