Stagione finita, Mondiale compreso. Il seconda linea australiano dei Brumbies Mark Chisholm si è rotto i legamenti del crociato anteriore destro in uno scontro durante la partita di Super Rugby contro i Reds, giocata questo fine settimana.
Per lui il torneo iridato in Nuova Zelanda diventa un sogno, impossibile il recupero. E un guaio in più per l’Australia.
Chisholm chiude così anche la sua parentesi con i Brumbies: l’anno prossimo giocherà infatti in Francia, al Bayonne.
