Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh said he wouldn’t consider an early release,however,because Gordon was still in contention to play for the Wallabies.
Gordon is due to begin satellite Wallabies training in Melbourne next week,before a July Test squad is named by coach Joe Schmidt at the end of the week. The 23-year-old is in the mix for Wallabies selection but is arguably behind Noah Lolesio and Ben Donaldson in the pecking order.
