Representative summary

• If you’re tracking his status for a specific date or series (e.g., a Wallabies selection or Lions tour), I’d look for the latest injury update from Rugby Australia, Waratahs coaching staff, and national selectors, as those sources typically publish the most current fitness and clearance information.

Would you like me to pull up the very latest bite-sized updates from current outlets (e.g., team press releases or major rugby outlets) for a precise date range? I can also summarize injury timelines and likely availability around notable upcoming fixtures (e.g., Australia vs. Fiji or Lions tests) if you specify a date or event.

Note: For precise quotes or to verify the latest status, I can fetch current articles and give you direct citations. If you want that, tell me the date window you care about (e.g., “this week” or “as of May 2026”).
