Overview
- Lock Miles Amatosero allegedly threw multiple punches at new recruit Angus Scott-Young during a live game simulation at the Daceyville base.
- Scott-Young suffered a fractured eye socket and required stitches, placing his availability for Round 1 in doubt.
- Rugby Australia and the Waratahs have interviewed both players and are finalising the investigation into a potential code-of-conduct breach.
- Amatosero has not been stood down and is with the squad at a Mudgee camp, with a suspension during trial matches reported as a possible outcome.
- Scott-Young stayed in Sydney for limited training and awaits specialist clearance as the Waratahs approach trials on January 31 and February 5 before the February 13 opener.
