Harry Potter discusses injury timeline on Full Force Podcast

In the most recent Full Force Podcast with Cairo Takarangi, Harry Potter, the utility back for the Western Force, provided an update on his injury status.

The off-season Harry Potter recruit talked about his childhood, his brief stint playing Australian Rules football in Melbourne, his championship victories in the NSW Shute Shield and England’s Premiership Rugby, poor puns, abracadraba, and much more. His Super Rugby Pacific season was cut short due to a syndesmosis injury in Round 6.

Harry Potter had surgery in April and is expected to recuperate over the course of four months. The rugby season, which ends with Super Rugby and comes before any spring series games, is a bit of a no-man’s land. A little time to get it perfect.

Harry Potter has continued to be a constant presence at Force HQ despite the injuries, participating in team meetings and working out regularly in the gym while using a knee scooter and a peg leg to get around, which made his comrades laugh. About mid-July, Potter stated on the Full Force Podcast, “I’m hoping to be back.”

Harry Potter remarked, “The knee scooter is a much better alternative. I was on crutches for a few days.” “I also have a peg leg,” You attach this peg to your leg and use it to walk about. “I received a lot of flak from the guys for strolling through the gym, so I won’t be doing that again!”

Western Force center-back Harry Harry Potter’s 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season will probably come to an end due to his scheduled syndesmosis surgery. After the Fijian Drua defeated the Pirates 31–13 on Saturday, Potter had a high ankle injury. He returned to Perth and had scans earlier this week.

Harry Potter to undergo Syndesmosis Surgery

Simon Cron, the head coach of the Force, announced that tests showed he will need surgery to syndesmose. “Unfortunately, Harry sustained an injury as a result of being tackled from behind,” Cron stated. “He finds it incredibly disappointing.”He seems a little unhappy because I just hung up on him fifteen minutes ago. “Tomorrow is his surgery day. We regretfully anticipate that Potts won’t be returning this season at this point. Max Burey will start at full back due to Potter’s injury.

Kurtley Beale, a seasoned Wallabies player, just returned to club football and will be joining the Western Force. Beale’s return to Super Rugby was made possible by Harry Potter’s injury, a versatile back whose comeback from last year was cut short before it started the daily rugby

In fact, the 95-Test Wallaby’s absence from the 2023 campaign was due to a sexual assault charge. However, he was exonerated of all allegations early this year, therefore those accusations were dropped. As soon as Beale returned for Randwick, he started working to rebuild his career. The playmaker proved he still had it in less than an hour by playing flawlessly against Brothers in the Australian Club Championship.

Harry Potter already thriving in Force’s bid for edge to edge exciting Rugby

Appearing more fit than he has in years, Beale made a single linebreak on his line and set up a counterattack that saw Randwick come back to cut the lead against Brothers. Beale’s teammate in the Waratahs’ 2014 Super Rugby title, Stephen Hoiles, his club coach, stated that “there is no doubt” that Beale was prepared for a comeback. Most significantly, Beale was persuaded by Force coach Simon Cron, who had previously coached the forwards for the Waratahs with Beale.

Niamh O’Connor, the chief executive of New Force, stated that she considered Beale as a crucial component of the ambitious Super Rugby team’s success strategies. Kurtley is an exciting addition to our plans for growth and success, and we know where we want to take the Club,” O’Connor remarked. In our conversations, Kurtley has demonstrated his unwavering commitment and enthusiasm for the game. He is eager to take advantage of this chance to play Super Rugby once more.

Crusaders Super Rugby Pacific match Preview

The Waratahs of New South Wales and the Crusaders of Christchurch, New Zealand, will play a crucial match on Friday in Super Rugby Pacific round eight that might determine the future paths of both teams’ seasons.

Both have had unsatisfactory beginnings. Before defeating the Hamilton-based Chiefs in round six, the reigning champion Crusaders dropped their opening five games. The Sydney-based Waratahs had great expectations going into the season, but they have only won one game and are currently sitting one spot above the Crusaders in 10th position in the standings.

Now that the regular season is halfway through, both clubs must win practically every game left to have any hope of making a significant appearance in the postseason.

Australia’s Kurtley Beale calls for refereeing consistency after Owen Farrell tackle

• ‘A couple of years ago it is a red, or a yellow or a penalty’ • Referees to meet this week, with six Saturday Tests in Europe

Kurtley Beale said confusion will remain over tackles which merit a red card until there is consistency from referees. The Australia centre was speaking after the furore generated by Owen Farrell’s challenge on André Esterhuizen at the end of England’s victory over South Africa.

England’s co-captain went into the challenge with his right shoulder and Esterhuizen came to an abrupt halt. The Australian referee, Angus Gardner, reviewed the tackle, first to determine its height – it was just below the shoulders – and then to see whether the fly-half had, as the law requires, attempted to use his arms. He gave Farrell the benefit of the doubt and did not award a penalty that could have won South Africa Saturday’s Test at Twickenham.

A wet weekend in Shizuoka

Australia vs Georgia

Friday October 11th 2019

When we were choosing what games to see we weren’t expecting to get many tickets so we chose ones that worked together. Ones that were in locations near each other or on the same weekend.  So that is how we ended up with tickets for Australia vs Georgia in Shizuoka. We fancied seeing what Australia were looking like as they were likely to be playing in one of the quarter finals we would watch, also we had tickets for England vs France on Saturday in Tokyo and Shizuoka was on the way. The plan made sense. 

That is until the Japanese weather changed all that. Typhoon Hagibis was causing Japan’s rugby World Cup a massive headache. They had to cancel 3 games and other games looked to be in jeopardy.  

One of the cancelled games was the highly anticipated England France game. We were disappointed but we had seen England play and hoped to see them again in the quarter finals. The fans who had come out to Japan just for that game were understandably devastated. 

We had to come up with a new plan. So we decided to go to Shizuoka for the Australia game, hunker down in a hotel there to wait out the storm, then, Typhoon carnage permitting, go on to Yokohama to watch Japan versus Scotland in a pub. 

The Australia game was set to be a wet one. There would be no fanzone; all the screens and gazebos were being safely stored away for the typhoon. We packed our wet weather gear and when we arrived we were very glad that we had. 

The rain from the oncoming storm was lashing down. It didn’t stop us from making the most of the photo opportunities.  

The game itself was as expected a wet one. Georgia were aiming to beat a tier one nation, while Australia were trying to make safe passage through to the quarter finals. 

Both teams were physically big and neither was going to be intimidated. For the first 20 minutes it was like an arm wrestle both showing power and a determination not to allow the other to score. This brutality led to an early casualty in the form of Australian full back Kurtley Beale, who was knocked out in a collision. This put his inclusion in the team for a possible quarter final against England in huge doubt.

There were penalties for both sides and the kickers did their job well in tough conditions. The Australian’s proved they were struggling to come to terms with the stricter high tackle rules, leading to Isi Naisarani being sent off with a yellow card towards half time. 

By half time Georgia had put up a solid fight only conceding 10 points and scoring 3.

The rain continued to dampen the occasion. Luckily our seats were near the top of stadium which was pretty sheltered. 

For 20 minutes after the break the struggle continued with the Georgian defence making a determined show, leaving no new score from either team. Finally at 60 minutes Koroibete made a break and used his fantastic footwork to dart past the Georgians to the try line. This try was answered 10 minutes later when the Georgians pulled together a play off their set piece and Alexander Todua came away with a try. The Australians started to show some quality in the dying stages as the Georgians tired from their earlier efforts, scoring two more tries.

Not the most exciting game of the tournament but one that allowed us a glimpse at Australia and Shizuoka stadium and not a bad way to spend a Friday evening if a little damp.
