GARETH Hardy is looking to rebound from an injury-marred 2008 Super 14 campaign to regain his standing among the top loosehead props in the nation.
A solid scrummager with exceptional ability in the loose, Hardy was well and truly on the radar of national selectors before an ankle injury sustained in the early rounds of the competition limited his appearances to just four for the Emirates Western Force last season.
‘Boof’ earned his maiden representative call up in 2007 for the Australia A team after earlier being named in an extended Wallabies squad in the lead up to the winter Test campaign. One of the more established front row forwards in Australian Rugby, he needs just seven more appearances for the WA side to attain the milestone of 50 Super caps.
