Uncapped teenager shocked by Wallabies Rugby World Cup call
By AAP
Max Jorgensen has placed his studies on hold in the hope of becoming the youngest Wallaby ever to debut at a Rugby World Cup.
The teenage sensation conceded to be in a state of shock after receiving the call-up from coach Eddie Jones to make the trip to France with Australia's 33-man squad.
The 18-year-old had feared his World Cup dream was over when he tore an MCL during a NSW Waratahs Super Rugby loss to the Crusaders in May.
"I was pretty surprised when I found out, especially coming off the back of the pretty big knee injury," Jorgensen said on Friday.
"So it was a bit of a shock to get the call, but I was cheering.
"When I first did the injury, I took it pretty hard. I knew once I did it my knee was pretty cooked. The first four weeks of the injury was pretty devastating."
Three months on, Jorgensen says he's in the final stages of rehab and reckons he'll be available for Australia's warm-up game against the tournament hosts at Stade de France on August 27.
"I should be sweet for that game," said the St Joseph's College graduate.
Jones has invested heavily in youth over experience and Jorgensen is promising not to let anyone down if called up to make a dream Wallabies debut during the global showpiece.
"I just back my skill and I back myself completely," said the fleet-footed fullback or winger.
"So I think I can bring a lot to this end."
There was one positive to Jorgensen's injury.
"It gave me a lot of time to reflect and it was just awesome just looking back at the season I've had and how quickly things have moved and then seeing myself and where I am now, it's just unreal," he said.
Despite his meteoric rise, this won't be Jorgensen's first World Cup.
As a wide-eyed 10-year-old, the son of two-Test former Wallaby turned NRL star Peter Jorgensen attended the 2015 World Cup in England and loved every minute of it.
"That was unreal," he said.
"Watching a lot of the boys that are in this squad right now."
This time he must trade the books for the boots, with Jorgensen having to take time out from studying Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Management at Sydney University.
"I will defer for this semester and probably pick it back up next year."

My name is Alan Criner, and I'm a resident of Toronto, CA. I'm a 45-year-old financial analyst who has always been cautious with my investments. However, in my quest to diversify my portfolio, I fell prey to a devastating fake crypto investment scam, losing 125,000 Canadian dollars' worth of Bitcoin. This traumatic experience sent my life into a downward spiral, leaving me depressed and feeling hopeless.
Despite my repeated attempts to contact the account manager who initially approached me on Telegram, I was met with silence. They refused to provide any explanation or information, and I was locked out of my account on their website. The authorities were unable to assist me, as the scammers were untraceable.
Just when I thought all was lost, my nephew, a Canadian government lawyer, introduced me to Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable private investigator and crypto recovery company. I visited their website (www . morphohackcyber . com) and, after mustering the courage, contacted them. They listened attentively as I recounted my ordeal and educated me on the scam, revealing that numerous others had fallen victim to the same scheme.
Although skeptical at first, I decided to take a chance. Morphohack guided me through the process, instructing me to set up a new wallet. To my astonishment, they successfully recovered my stolen Bitcoin and transferred it to my new wallet. I was stunned, struggling to comprehend how this was possible.
I initially wanted to keep this experience private, but I realized that there may be others out there who have suffered similar losses. If you're a victim of crypto theft, I urge you to reach out to Morphohack Cyber Service. They can be contacted through their website or email. (Morphohack@cyberservices . com, Info@morphohackcyber . com) Don't give up hope, there is a way to recover your stolen crypto assets.
