Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's hopes of finishing his first Wallabies tour with a flourish against Ireland are still alive after a more positive update on the injury he suffered against Scotland.
The code-hopping superstar avoided breaking his right arm in the bone-shuddering hit he put on fellow Aussie Sione Tuipulotu, Scotland's captain, in the first half of the Wallabies' defeat at Murrayfield, and the pain of the knock is subsiding.
"After making a tackle yesterday, Joseph Suaalii lost function and had severe pain in his right arm and was substituted," a team statement from Dublin said.
