Testing the ticker

The Sydney Morning Herald's Greg Growden previews Australia's clash with Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

"Appearing in the Test front row is probably not the best spot for someone with a dicky ticker, but Scott Andrews's past heart problems are not daunting him as he prepares for his first international start when he plays the Wallabies at Millennium Stadium tomorrow night.

"Two years ago, the tight-head prop was hospitalised for treatment when a routine Wales Rugby Union health test revealed that he had an irregular heartbeat.

"Andrews admitted when he discovered the abnormality that it was ''scary'', but medication has enabled him to continue playing, with the 22-year-old Cardiff representative being promoted to the Test front row this weekend, due to several other props either being injured or unavailable."
