Wighton stakes claim to be at centre of Meninga's World Cup headache

Wighton stakes claim to be at centre of Meninga's World Cup headache

The Canberra Times

All the talk's been about the halves, but it's not just in the playmaking roles that Australia coach Mal Meninga faces a selection headache.

It's also in the centres after Canberra Raiders star Jack Wighton scored two tries and set-up two more in the Kangaroos' 15-try romp over Scotland on Saturday.

He'll have to be in Meninga's thoughts come the business end of the tournament, from a pool that also included Latrell Mitchell, Valentine Holmes and Matt Burton.

Meninga will also need to decide whether he sticks with having both a back-up hooker and a utility on his bench come semi-final time.
