Will Skelton is racing the clock to lead the wounded Wallabies in their final pool match against Portugal but coach Eddie Jones is hoping it's not the last World Cup for the giant lock.
Skelton has an unhappy World Cup history, with both his 2015 campaign and the current France tournament wrecked by injury.
Eight years ago, playing in Birmingham, Skelton suffered a pectoral injury in Australia's second match against Uruguay and was replaced in the squad.
