Wallabies waiting on Elsom

AUSTRALIA blindside flanker Rocky Elsom is unsure whether he will be fit to travel to South Africa for the two Tri-Nations Tests against the Springboks in Durban and Johannesburg this month.
Elsom sustained a foot injury in the Wallabies' 34-19 win against New Zealand in Sydney two weeks ago and missed Australia's 39-10 loss to the All Blacks in Auckland last Saturday.
A decision on Elsom is expected to be made next Tuesday, the day before the Wallabies reassemble for a two-day camp in Sydney before leaving for South Africa.
"I'd love to play, but I've never had this injury (ligament damage) before so I don't know the go," Elsom said. "I feel it is getting better, but it's hard to say. I'll have to wait and see."
