After an injury scare yesterday afternoon, Australian halfback Jonathan Thurston has been given the green light to play in tonight’s Centenary Test against New Zealand at the SCG.
Amid fears that he would not recover in time for the game, Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk was flown over to fill in for the injured Thurston like he did last year in Australia’s 58-0 win against the Kiwis past October.
Scott Prince chose not to comment to the media after being overlooked by selectors.
However, unlike Cronk, Prince has not partnered Bird in the halves, nor has he had the luxury of orchestrating a combination between Storm’s Billy Slater and Cameron Smith. Cronk’s style of play will be read well by his teammates Israel Folau and Greg Inglis when push comes to shove. These are all advantages for a player who has not had the opportunity to partake in a full training session with the Australian squad.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Cronk was the option selectors chose to go with had Thurston not recovered in time for tonight’s clash.

Melbourne Storm halfback Cooper Cronk has been called up to join the Kangaroos camp amid fears that Jonathan Thurston’s ankle injury will prevent him from playing in the Centenary Test clash.
Thurston will be undergoing scans to determine the seriousness of his injury today after he rolled his ankle in training this morning. However, insiders believe that he may still be fit to play in tomorrow nights game.
Cronk who played in last years 58-0 victory over New Zealand will fly up to Sydney ahead of Titan’s Steve Prince who has been playing brilliantly this season.
Choosing a team to support is just as important as finding the perfect shoes to go with that perfect Little Black Dress…No, The other Little Black Dress. *rolls eyes at all the clueless men near by (and StephenP)* Like seriously, who only wears one pair of shoes with all outfits? *disapprovingly eyes the pair of crocs worn by the ginger-haired man walking past*
