Dunning injury blow mars win
Australia's 18-11 win over the Barbarians at Wembley last night was marred by a serious injury to prop Matt Dunning who faces a long period out of the game after damaging an Achilles tendon.
Dunning fell awkwardly in a scrum in a robust encounter that was more like a real Test match than a normal Barbarians fixture.
Lote Tuqiri signalled his return from injury with a try for Australia who received special gold medals to mark the 100th anniversary of their country's London Olympic Games win against Great Britain.
Meanwhile, Saracens chief executive Mark Sinderberry is leaving the Guinness Premiership outfit and will be replaced by Edward Griffiths, to strengthen the club's links with South African rugby.
Sinderberry is departing after six years at the club, although he will continue to work on a consultancy basis.
Griffiths, currently chief executive of Saracens' umbrella company Premier Team Holdings, was chief executive of South African Rugby during their World Cup win in 1995.
The PTH company has a substantial interest in the Bulls Super 14 side in South Africa.
Sinderberry said: "Saracens have a world-class coaching set-up and an academy that is ranked as one of the best in the country."
