Australia have a hooker problem but Tolu Latu may not be the answer, according to Phil Kearns, who sees the Wallaby's indiscipline as a huge risk for the nation's Rugby World Cup hopes.
The Stade Francais hooker was banned for 11 weeks on Tuesday for a shocking tackle on Racing 92's Baptiste Chouzenoux as the Frenchman rose for a ball in the air.
"That’s a massive risk for your tournament, isn’t it? You go in with a guy that’s going to get red-carded and you lose him for the rest of the tournament,” World Cup-winning hooker Kearns told reporters in Brisbane on Wednesday.
