Green unlikely to recover for Glasgow clash
Cheika’s first choice tight-head prop is bothered by ligament damage in the shoulder/neck area and the coach admitted yesterday: “I’ve included him in my squad but I don’t think he has much chance of making it.”
Green’s front row partner David Blaney is also a concern, as is Rob Kearney, but Cheika was more upbeat about their chances. “We’re pretty hopeful that David, after having his feet up for a couple of days, will be right. We have decided to name an expanded squad to allow Rob prove his fitness too.”
