MELBOURNE: Wallabies hopeful Suliasi Vunivalu has been ruled out of the three-test series against France with a hamstring strain but coach Dave Rennie has downplayed injury concerns for flyhalf James O'Connor.
Vunivalu's Reds team mate O'Connor missed out on his 100th Super Rugby match against the Auckland Blues over the weekend due to a neck problem and has been ruled out of their last Trans-Tasman match against the Hurricanes. He said he would still consider players who had signed overseas contracts, including France-bound hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa, despite the possibility they become unavailable in the long-term due to eligibility restrictions.
Rennie did not pick any overseas-based players last year and on Thursday backed the curbs as"really important" for domestic rugby.
