Chris Latham to miss Super 14, possibly World Cup
January 10th, 2007
Well, there goes any chance the Queensland Reds had of making the Super 14 semi-finals this season. Without Chris Latham in the side, the Reds will be battling not to finish in last place with the South African teams, and probably the Western Force also. That sucks!
What’s more, is that his chances to represent Australia at the World Cup in France later this year are slim. Even if he is there, it is unlikely he will have had a good chance to play himself into any decent form. In my opinion, the Wallabies weren’t a good chance to win it, but even less so now that Latham is out.
What is interesting is the news that Wallabies coach John Connolly is furious about the injury, and has asked for a please explain from the Reds, as all Wallabies players were supposed to refrain from contact drills.
