Wallabies<\/a> inside centre Samu Kerevi is in doubt for Australia's first game of the Rugby World Cup<\/a> after only completing parts of training in France on Tuesday, reports The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Wallabies' biggest session of the week, in the lead-up to their first game against Georgia on Sunday morning (AEST), Kerevi was not involved in the warm-up.<\/p>\n

The Fiji-born star was the only player from the 33-man Wallabies squad who was not on the field in the 15-minute window for reporters to take photos and video.<\/p>\n

He was later seen in a dugout without his boots on as his teammates got the session underway.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Kerevi has been dealing with a hand injury since Australia's 23-20 Bledisloe Cup loss in Dunedin and did not face France in a warm-up match on August 27, when the Wallabies were thrashed 41-17 in Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The team has given little away regarding Kerevi's availability for the Wallabies' tournament-opening clash with Georgia, but the 29-year-old's limited involvement points to him not being selected.<\/p>\n

A Wallabies spokesperson said Kerevi did not complete the full session at the team's base in Andrezieux-Boutheon.<\/p>\n

The Wallabies will name their team for the Georgia clash on Thursday evening (AEST).\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
