How did your club fare?

Grateful to be healthy and running around again, even better to lace up next to some of my brothers. Always a good time playing for @SouthsRugby. pic.twitter.com/EXOnVjSZ4e

The Wallabies and Reds will be breathing a sigh of relief this week, with utility forward Lukhan Tui making it through his Souths return unscathed.
Tui underwent surgery earlier this season but has returned in time for the Wallabies' June Series, and is considered a top choice at six, with Ned Hanigan out injured.
Suffered an MCL injury in our victory over UQ on the weekend and will be sidelined for the next 3-4 weeks.. gutted to be out of action for the next little bit as I’ve been enjoying my rugby so much but as we know injuries are part of the game.
