Genia in doubt for Tri-Nations decider

5:50 am on 26 August 2011

The Wallabies halfback Will Genia is in doubt for tomorrow night's Tri-Nations decider against the All Blacks in Brisbane after a second collision at training.

In a major scare for his side, Genia will have to wait for a clearance today from team doctors after copping a head knock in a collision with reserve lock Rob Simmons, leaving the virtually irreplaceable halfback with a suspected concussion, though he's confident he will be able to play.

On Tuesday another towering Reds forward, Radike Samo, split Genia's head open and left him dazed after charging into him in another highly-physical training session.

Genia's back-up Luke Burgess has not played for two months due to a broken hand.
