‘I was a bit scared’: The moment Jorgensen thought Lions dream was over
@Source: theage.com.au
After missing out on the Rugby World Cup, the Waratahs outside back has made no secret of wanting to be involved in the second-biggest event for an Australian rugby player – a British and Irish Lions tour.
But on a wet night in Wellington in late March, it suddenly felt as if that dream would be snatched away from him, too, when Jorgensen was left clutching his ankle and punching the turf in anger after an awkward tackle.
“The two injuries felt very similar – that’s why I was a bit scared when I did it,” Jorgensen said of his injury against the Hurricanes.
“It’s such a big year with the Lions and you’re just like, ‘S---, what do I do now’? It was pretty devastating. What goes through your head is pretty full on. You just have that feeling you’ve done something bad.”
