I’ve watched Elton play rugby

I’ve watched Elton play rugby since year 9 at Nudgee College. I always though of him as a cut above the rest but by the same token wasn’t surprised when he had too much to drink with his Nudgee mates in June. This article in the Australian indicates he’s on the way back and considered Captain material. IN disgrace in June, Elton Flatley emerged yesterday as the Wallabies’ captain-in-waiting after coach Eddie Jones likened him to Australian cricket’s bad-boy-come-good, Ricky Ponting. What should have been a climactic day for Australian rugby yesterday with the official release of the Wallabies squad to defend the World Cup in November fell more than a little flat after the 30 names were leaked on Tuesday. Yet the Australian Rugby Union did manage to keep one surprise up its sleeve – Flatley’s elevation to joint vice-captain along with 29-year-old second-rower David Giffin. Go! You good thing!
