Gregan may miss Euro tour

Wallabies coach John Connolly has confirmed George Gregan is likely to be rested from Australia’s eight-match tour of the UK and Europe in November – if he can find three fit reserve scrum-halves.

Connolly is contemplating omitting some senior players from the end-of-season tour to allow them to recuperate after a hectic Super 14 and international season in the southern hemisphere, and keep them fresh for next year’s World Cup.
