Wallabies coach Michael Cheika doesn’t expect Lukhan Tui to join the team for their Rugby Championship tour after indicating the back-rower’s desire to sit out the remainder of the season.
A distraught Tui told his teammates he needed to take a break from rugby after his altercation with a fan who had allegedly pushed his sister moments after Saturday night’s 23-19 defeat to Argentina.
It was an ugly end to an already emotional week for Tui’s family – his stepfather died suddenly on Wednesday and the Wallabies wore black armbands in his honour during the Test at Cbus Super Stadium.
