    Elsom heading to Japan

    Former Wallabies captain Rocky Elsom has played his last game in Australia.
    The injured Waratah is set to announce a two-year deal with Japanese side Kobe Steel soon.
    A shoulder injury will keep the breakaway out of the Waratahs' final two matches of the season and the Steelers don't expect the 29-year-old to play until October. And Elsom won't just be turning out for Kobe; the Japanese rugby giants are set to allow Elsom to play in Europe between January and July next year and 2014.

    Probably felt he was important enough at the time for it to be worthwhile - I think they did the same with Joe Roff back in the day.
