Wallabies Flyhalf Lynagh Cleared of Concussion, Hamstring Injury Monitored

Australian flyhalf Tom Lynagh has been cleared of concussion concerns following the Wallabies' 28-24 Rugby Championship victory over Argentina in Townsville. Lynagh, who was substituted in the second half due to a tight hamstring, initially failed a Head Injury Assessment (HIA1), but subsequent HIA2 and HIA3 tests showed no signs of concussion. Despite the clearance, Lynagh's fitness remains in question due to his hamstring injury and previous history of concussions, leading to uncertainty over his availability for the upcoming rematch against Argentina in Sydney. Veteran James O’Connor has stepped in as a reliable playmaker during Lynagh's absences, while other key players like Noah Lolesio and Ben Donaldson are sidelined with injuries. The Wallabies are currently second in the Rugby Championship standings, trailing New Zealand by one point. The team is cautiously monitoring Lynagh's condition to avoid risking his health ahead of the crucial fixture.
