    Call up for Randwick scrum half

    Just saw this at the end of the west story on McCusker

    Meanwhile, the Force have called up Randwick scrum-half Mitch Short as injury cover for the clash against the high-flying Chiefs at nib Stadium on Saturday night.
    The Force have been hit hard with starting No.9 Ryan Louwrens out for the season with knee damage and Michael Ruru unavailable after being injured in the win over the Southern Kings two weeks ago.
    Ian Prior will likely start at scrum-half with Short on the bench.
    Local product Kieran Duffin from the Palmyra club has also been training with the wider squad.
    Wallaby second-rower Adam Coleman's much awaited return after seven weeks on the sideline has been delayed but back-rower Brynard Stander has recovered from a shoulder injury and is set to return from the bench

    Young Kieran Duffin is an Englishman here on a working holiday.

    Best of luck to him. A great feather in his cap.

    Second only to being first choice scrum half for Palmyra.

    Don't know either of these guys- any details you can tell us? And didn't know that Ruru was injured.

    Kieran traveled around and played some games as halfback for Palmyra last season. He returned recently for a few more games and was obviously noticed by the Force talent scouts. He is very quick, with a great pass and a strong tackle.

    Unfortunately he will be returning home.
