"Rocky Elsom écarté de la pré-liste pour les tests de juin. D'après The Australian il ne fait plus guère de doute qu'il ne restera pas en Australie après le Super Rugby. Je mets le passage complet de l'article car il n'est pas disponible intégralement sur le lien.
Rocky Elsom's Wallaby road at dead end
THE Test career of former Wallabies captain Rocky Elsom appears to be over following his omission from the training squad to prepare for the coming internationals against Scotland and Wales.
Coach Robbie Deans will announce the squad on Monday.
It is understood Wallabies management has contacted players who are in the squad and Elsom was not one of them.
Regarded as one of the best blindside flankers in Australian rugby history, it will be the first time Elsom has not been part of a Wallabies squad since his Test debut in 2005 - with the exception of his spectacularly successful stint with Irish province Leinster in 2008-09.
A hamstring injury kept him on the sidelines for the NSW Waratahs for the first eight rounds of the current season.
While Elsom has played strongly since making his comeback, against Melbourne Rebels in Sydney five weeks ago, he has not regained full match fitness, failing to play for 80 minutes in any game.
He sustained a shoulder injury in the Waratahs' loss to the Stormers in Cape Town last Sunday and is in doubt for the match with the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Sunday.
Elsom is expected to leave Australia at the end of the year to pursue his career overseas and this may have influenced Deans's decision.
