Australia's injury woes continue as Pollard steps in for Porecki in third test against Lions
SYDNEY (AP) — Another injury has forced late changes to Australia's lineup for the third rugby test against the British and Irish Lions, with Billy Pollard promoted to start at hooker after David Porecki and Matt Faessler were ruled out of Saturday's match. Porecki was ruled out Friday with a leg injury, making way for Pollard to move into the starting XV off the bench for his 10th test. Faessler's calf muscle injury meant Brandon Paenga-Amosa had to be drafted in from outside the Wallabies squad assembled in Sydney. Head coach Joe Schmidt had already unveiled four changes to Australia's starting XV and another two on the bench on Thursday after the contentious, last-gasp 29-26 loss in the second test at Melbourne last weekend. Another injury to Porecki compounds the absence of flanker Rob Valetini — who missed the series opener and had a big impact on the second test before leaving at halftime — and veteran prop Allan Ala'alatoa. 'Gutted to lose, I guess, a few, great players ... but we have a lot of confidence," in Paenga-Amosa," Wallabies captain Harry Wilson said at the captain's run on the eve of the test. 'Brendan joined us yesterday afternoon, obviously after a bit of a tough Thursday training session.' Wilson said the 29-year-old Paenga-Amosa, had already played tour games against the Lions and was an experienced Wallaby. 'He's got a lot of confidence, and he's coming into the group and he's fitting very quickly," Wilson said. Australia hasn't lost three tests in a Lions tour since 1904 and is facing a confident British and Irish squad that is 8-0 in Australia, including victory in the first test in Brisbane, the second test in Melbourne, wins over Super Rugby franchises Western Force,Queensland Reds, Waratahs and Brumbies and two invitational teams. Taniela Tupou was recalled at tighthead and the scrumhalf Nic White is returning for his final international appearance in a reworked Wallabies lineup trying to prevent the British and Irish Lions completing a 3-0 sweep. ___ Squads: Australia: Tom Wright, Max Jorgensen, Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i, Len Ikitau, Dylan Pietsch, Tom Lynagh, Nick White; Harry Wilson (captain), Fraser McReight, Tom Hooper, Nick Frost, Taniela Tupou, Billy Pollard, James Slipper. Reserves: Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Angus Bell, Zane Nonggorr, Jeremy Wiliams, Langi Gleeson, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson, Andrew Kellaway. British and Irish Lions: Hugo Keenan (Ireland), Tommy Freeman (England), Huw Jones (Scotland), Bundee Aki (Ireland), Blair Kinghorn (Scotland), Finn Russell (Scotland), Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland); Jack Conan (Ireland), Tom Curry (England), Tadhg Beirne (Ireland), James Ryan (Ireland), Maro Itoje (England, captain), Tadhg Furlong (Ireland), Dan Sheehan (Ireland), Andrew Porter (Ireland). Reserves: Ronan Kelleher (Ireland), Ellis Genge (England). Will Stuart (England), Ollie Chessum (England), Jac Morgan (Wales), Ben Earl (England), Alex Mitchell (England), Owen Farrell (England). ___ AP rugby:

Chargers' Ladd McConkey dealing with 'minor' injury according to Jim Harbaugh
The post Chargers' Ladd McConkey dealing with 'minor' injury according to Jim Harbaugh appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Chargers opened up the checkbook for an offensive lineman while standout receiver Ladd McConkey ruminated about 2024. Unfortunately, McConkey's current status involves dealing with a minor injury, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. The young talent could miss practice time, according to a post on X by Daniel Popper. Ladd McConkey is working through a minor injury, according to Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh does not expect McConkey to practice today. Chargers WR Ladd McConkey hoping for big year Several NFL observers think McConkey could cut loose in Harbaugh's offense with Justin Herbert at the controls, according to 'I think he has the ceiling of being a top 10 receiver in the NFL,' Mina Kimes said. 'He was a guy I actually feel like we didn't give enough credit during the season for how good he was. 'I was pulling up numbers on receivers the other day and I had to stop and double check myself. He was fourth in yards per route run versus man coverage. Then I went back and watched some of his reps and he was like killing dudes over the middle of the field.' Kimes added that Chargers' offensive coordinator Greg Roman used McConkey wisely. 'I think Greg Roman did a great job springing him open out of bunches, tight formations,' Kimes said. 'But he's such a good route runner, we knew that in college obviously. The pull-away speed I thought was really impressive. I thought as the year went on we saw his usage and route tree expanding.' She added that McConkey is a threat in every phase of the passing game. 'I think he is a true three-level threat,' Kimes said. 'He's a true (WR1) in my opinion, the offense can flow through him. The sky is the limit for Ladd McConkey.' One down note for McConkey is not having much help around him. Quentin Johnston sits in the WR2 spot while rookie Tre Harris is WR3. And the depth chart is extremely shallow. If defenses focus on McConkey, he might not have the big year that Kimes has projected.
