Injured Genia will miss Fiji match

WILL GENIA has been
forced out of the Australian team to play Fiji in the Rugby Union international
at Canberra Stadium next Saturday.
PNG-born Genia suffered a knee injury in the final Super 14 round but is expected to be fit for forthcoming Tests against England and Ireland.
The 22-year-old Queensland captain was in great form during the Super 14s and was runner-up in the competition’s player of the series.
He finished one point behind team mate and fellow half back Quade Cooper, who paid tribute to Genia.
“The speed of his pass and his willingness to break the defensive line really makes my life a lot easier,” Cooper said.
Let's hope Will Genia recovers quickly from his injuries so his PNG fans can see him in action soon.
We miss seeing you Will, so don't rest too long. All PNG is proud of your achievements to date.
Thanks for putting the Papuans from Cental Province on the rugby map - "mero, ita siboda ladada ia badahere oi daimuai".
