NSW Waratahs and Wallabies star player Max Jorgensen has opened up on his injury struggles throughout his career to date, which has seen him struggle to find the consistency he is hoping for.
One of the best young players in the 15-man code, the St Joseph's College graduate has made seven appearances for the Wallabies since his debut against South Africa last year.
He was also a member of the Wallabies 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC) squad but was ruled out with a broken leg, which prevented him from debuting in the tournament.

Unlike most players his age, the 20-year-old has struggled down consistent game time on the field due to his history with injuries that have seen him suffer an MCL injury and hamstring issues.
"It's tough. I've had my fair share of injuries but I think the main thing comes down to is the group of boys you have around you and the staff as well," Jorgensen said on Thursday.
"I've done some rehab with some bloody good people and they've got me through it. Bouncing off each other always helps get you up.
Continuing to speak about his time in rehabilitation, he applauded Will Johnson and Harry Johnson-Holmes as the biggest helpers during the difficult period.
"I spent a fair chunk of time in rehab with both of them. We had some good times. Obviously don't have the best times in rehab but we made it as good as we could."
