Wallaby star ruled out for rest of season

Published on

Australia centre Samu Kerevi has been ruled out of the 2022 Rugby Championship after the Wallabies announced he was unlikely to play again before the end of the year.

The 28-year-old injured his knee during a 7-5 victory for the Australians over Kenya in their Commonwealth Games pool match in Birmingham over the weekend.

Kerevi took no further part in the tournament due to what appeared to be cruciate ligament damage. Australia lost to South Africa in the semi-finals.

“Good luck with your recovery, Samu! We are wholeheartedly behind you,” the Wallabies posted on social media.

The Wallabies start their Rugby Championship campaign on Saturday against Argentina.

Kerevi will also miss the end-of-year tour of Europe, which includes Tests against Scotland, France, Ireland and Wales.
