Aussie wrap (Wed)

Keo.co.za brings you the top stories from the Australian franchises.
Europe beckons for Henjak
Disgraced Australia scrumhalf Matt Henjak looks set to sign for a European club next season.
Henjak lost his Force contract after an alcohol-fuelled brawl in which team-mate Haig Sare suffered a broken jaw. He is currently without a franchise but is confident that he’ll continue his career in Europe.
“I’ve had three or four top European clubs express interest in me for the next northern hemisphere season,” Henjak said in a statement through his manager Greg Keenan. “My agent is in discussions with those clubs and hopefully something will get worked out in the not too distant future. I would have to head to Europe in July to commence pre-season training. In the meantime, I’m training hard so that when an opportunity presents itself I’ll be ready.”
McKenzie under fire
Waratahs coach Ewen McKenzie has three matches to hold onto his job.
The Waratahs lost badly to the Crusaders at the weekend, and despite having won three of their five matches to date, the Tahs’ board are believed to be disappointed in their overall performances.
NSW Rugby Union chairman Arvid Petersen told the Sydney Morning Herald: “We’ve tried to be pretty transparent with the coaching staff. Jim and Ewan have a very good understanding that it is an important year for all of us. The performance of the last year and a half hasn’t been as good as it should be. We’re the strongest union in this country, and our fans expect us to do better. Everyone involved with NSW Rugby has an expectation that we are going to perform at the top of the competition each year. So everyone is looking for these next few matches to set the tone for the year.
“I don’t think we are going well enough yet,” Petersen continued. “I think we’re genuinely still in the hunt, and the next five matches, in particular the next three games, will set the tone for our season. We will see how well we are placed during this period when we come up against Auckland and the Force, who are playing remarkably well. Winning is what it is all about. And obviously we will take any kind of a win we can get. I think we’re still waiting to see the emergence of a more entertaining and attacking style of rugby. We haven’t quite seen that yet.
