TUNE TO FACE CATS?

WALLABY winger Ben Tune was on Tuesday named in Queensland’s Super 12 side to play the Cats on Saturday despite the Australian team doctor’s recommendation that he be rested for at least a month. Tune is at the centre of a tug-of-war between Queensland and Australian officials who both want him for their respective campaigns. Although he has said he wants to keep playing, Tune said he would agree to sit out the game if instructed by a specialist following an examination on his injured knee on Wednesday.
