Cummins' dreams dashed by injury

[travelling_gerry]

9th October 2009
A long-awaited dream will be put on hold until at least June for former Bundaberg East Coast Buccaneers player Nick Cummins.

According to Nick's brother Luke, Wallabies coach Robbie Deans sat down with the Western Force winger and “pencilled him in” for the first two matches of the Wallabies Spring Tour of Japan and Europe.
But a demoralising foot injury during training has forced the speedster out of Deans' initial plans, and shattered the 22-year-old's Wallabies dream.
“He's devastated really, considering he was told he was playing the first two, locked in, and then to get injured - but now he's intent on getting fit for his next opportunity in June,” Luke Cummins said.
The Wallabies' first game is against the All Blacks in Tokyo on October 31.

Cam Shepherd has a new role - Mentoring... thems the breaks will be better when it happens and it certainly can happen for him

Poor Nick. But he's young - plenty of time to heal up well and get back into it.

Holy crap, when I saw the title, I thought he was OUT until June!

Hopefully we'll get him for a stack of S14!

EWF need him firing at game one we are thin on out wide next season!

poor bloke. next year is most definitely going to have to be his year!

The Cullet will return. A huge Super 14 season is on the cards.
(Sigh of relief as I thought the same thing as GIGs, at first)

He'll be back better next season... a bit of bad luck...

its a bit of a worry, if its the same as horwills injury then its a long healing process, and i imagine getting runninc practice is a bit more important for a winger then it is a lock, hope he is back in time to play a fair chunk of the season
