Call-up points to Hugh McMeniman returning to Wallabies Western Force back-five forward Hugh McMeniman is poised for a return to the Wallabies Source: News Limited HUGH McMeniman has been called into the Wallabies camp on the Sunshine Coast in a strong indication he will be involved in the British and Irish Lions series. McMeniman made a successful comeback from a shoulder injury in the Western Force's 28-13 loss to the NSW Waratahs in Perth yesterday. An abrasive back five forward, McMeniman can play blindside flanker and second row. McMeniman has not played a Test since 2009 because he had been playing in Japan until joining the Force this year, but he is highly regarded by Wallabies coach Robbie Deans. If he had not hurt his shoulder several weeks ago, McMeniman would have almost certainly been selected in the Wallabies' preliminary 25-man squad for the Lions series. He is a strong chance to play in the first Test against the Lions in Brisbane in two week's time.
