Paul Cully advises against counting Rocky Elsom out prior to the Rugby World Cup in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"Those prematurely writing the obituaries for Rocky Elsom's Wallabies captaincy - and perhaps his place in the team - after his latest injury setback had better be careful what they wish for.
"The big No.6 will miss the rest of the Super Rugby season after sustaining an ankle injury in his comeback game against the Force on Saturday night, raising concerns about his place in World Cup considerations.

"But it wasn't just his remarkably effective return - grouchy, combative - from a long-term hamstring injury that highlighted his worth, but its timing. As the Super season moves to the business end - and the weather closes in - we're getting a much better indication of what the coming international campaigns will bring - and the trend is moving towards tough, uncompromising and defence-dominated rugby."
