Wallaby rookie sent home with hamstring injury

Jordan Petaia will miss the final World Cup warm up game for the Wallabies after suffering a hamstring injury. 

Petaia has been sent home and will miss the September 7 game against Samoa but will remain part of the World Cup squad for Japan. The rookie missed out on his Wallaby debut last year against Italy due to a hamstring injury and has come off a foot injury that saw him miss most of the Super Rugby season.
