Code-hopping superstar Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii has been escorted from the field on a medicab after being knocked out in the first half of the NSW Waratahs' Super Rugby Pacific derby with the Queensland Reds in Sydney. Suaalii was wiped out after copping an accidental knee to the jaw from teammate Andrew Kellaway as the pair collided in a tackle. Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt was watching on at Allianz Stadium as the fullback was treated for several minutes before being taken from the field. Rubbing insult to injury, the friendly fire mishap happened with Queensland on a penalty advantage. The Reds scored 30 seconds later through hooker Richie Asiata to level the match up at 14-14 moments before the halftime break.
