Dublin-based Wallabies forward Kane Douglas, a potential key World Cup inclusion, is desperate to break his Irish club contract to return home for family reasons.

Douglas says he has spoken to Leinster club officials about sorting out an agreement for him to return to Australia as soon as possible.

“There are a few things going on at home that I need to be there for,” the 14-Test second-rower said. “I didn’t think it would be this tough to be away from it all and I hope I can get back home real soon.”
