The moment Jorgensen thought Lions dream was over


Jorgensen, who was speaking at a media conference announcing Nine’s new World Cup broadcast deal, says he is hoping to be back to full fitness in about three or four weeks.

If the Waratahs miss the finals, he won’t feature in sky blue again this season.

Jorgensen’s injury came at a pivotal moment in the Waratahs’ season. When he went down, they had won four of their first five matches and were leading the Hurricanes 10-7. They lost that match 57-12, and have dropped four of five since.

“The best-case scenario is we want the Tahs to make the quarters,” Jorgensen said. “It’s looking like we’re going to have to win three games straight. If the boys dig deep, I think we’ll be able to do it.

“After that, it’s a conversation I’ll want to have with [Wallabies coach] Joe [Schmidt]. If all goes well, my ankle is going to be sweet for Lions.

“From a confidence point of view, I definitely feel ready to go into those bigger arenas. You don’t lose too much fitness.”

Jorgensen said he had been impressed with the form of his Tahs teammate Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who could be his Wallabies partner in the back field come the first Test in Brisbane on July 19, provided he recovers from a concussion he picked up against the Reds on Friday.

“He’s been unreal,” Jorgensen said of Suaalii. “It was unfortunate for him to go down on the weekend. He’s been amazing.
