Sharpe in doubt for France Test
July 03, 2008
AUSTRALIA lock Nathan Sharpe is in doubt for Saturday night's Test match against France at Suncorp Stadium after injuring his groin at training on Thursday morning.
Australia A forward Hugh McMeniman has been called into the Wallabies squad as cover for Sharpe who strained his groin while running at Ballymore.
NSW lock Dean Mumm would move from the bench into the second row if Sharpe was ruled out, with a decision on his fitness expected to be made Thursday night or Friday morning.
Sharpe has been in good form in the opening two Tests of the season with he and second row partner James Horwill laying down a challenge for forward leader Dan Vickerman when he returns from ankle surgery.
