Another setback for Aussie rugby ahead of the World Cup

Sydney — Tolu Latu was on Sunday withdrawn from a Wallabies training camp as he faces drink-driving allegations, with Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson fuming that he only heard about the issue hours before a Super Rugby clash with the Reds.

“I was pretty disappointed to only learn of it so close to the game,” Gibson said after the Waratahs edged the Reds 40-32 in a pulsating 10-try clash on Saturday. That’s the disappointing aspect as a coach. I’m sure there’s a number of things that he needs to say to the team.” Rugby Australia said Latu would return to Sydney from Brisbane and miss the training camp, part of the Wallabies build-up to the 2019 World Cup.

Latu, 26, came off the bench to play against the Reds, with Hore saying he checked with Super Rugby’s governing body Sanzaar and RA to ensure he was still eligible.
