Australia’s newest rugby star, Joseph Sua’ali’i, was injured in the match against Scotland

EDINBURGH, Scotland – Joseph Sua’ali’i, the new star of Australian rugby, was forced off the field with an injury after half an hour of Sunday’s test match against Scotland.

Sua’ali’i suffered a right shoulder injury while attacking Sione Tuipulotu as the Scotland captain tried to break through Australia’s defensive line.

Sua’ali’i received treatment but was soon off the pitch at Murrayfield.

Sua’ali’i, 21, switched codes from rugby league last month and made his second start for the Wallabies. He made an impressive debut two weeks ago in a 42-37 win over England.

At that point the score was 7-3 to Scotland.
