2006 Wallabies Spring Tour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2006 Australian national rugby union team tour to Europe, known in Australia as the 2006 Wallabies Spring Tour, is part of a 2006 end-of-year rugby test series and takes place in November 2006. The tour consist of test matches against Wales, Italy, Ireland and Scotland as well as midweek games against Ireland A, Scotland A and Welsh team Ospreys.

The tour is the first time this decade that Captain George Gregan will miss out on a Wallabies tour opting to miss in preparation ahead of the 2007 Rugby World Cup with this Stirling Mortlock was named captain but missed out on the opening match due to injury. Phil Waugh was subsequently named as captain.[1]

On the 11th of October Wallabies halfback Sam Cordingley announced that he would pull out of the tour to rest a nagging foot injury leaving Australia without it's top two halfbacks. Another injury concern for the Wallabies is the injury to Prop Greg Holmes who announced that he was unable to tour due to a neck injury he sustained during training and with this announcement Brumbies prop Nic Henderson was called into the sqaud.
