Sitaleki Timani may have played his last game for Wallabies after missing side to face Wales Timani (C) will join French club Montpellier, ending his Wallabies career for the time being. HE is one of the most fearsome enforcers to have worn the gold jersey but giant lock Sitaleki Timani may have played his final game for the Wallabies after being left out of this weekend's Test against Wales. Timani is off to play French rugby with Montpellier, and his departure came with a warning from Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie to any player that wants to follow. "Everyone's got their circumstance, I'm not going to judge people on that, but in the end you want blokes to make the sacrifice to wear the jersey," McKenzie said. Guys who want to play in the World Cup need to be playing Super Rugby in 2015, simple as that. Anyone who is not in Australia playing Super Rugby needs to get into some franchise by the end of next year, so they've got to make a decision. We've advertised that fact quite clearly; if you're not running around in Super Rugby in 2015, you won't be going to the World Cup. Timani has options in his contract, while other overseas-based stars including James O'Connor and Digby Ioane have said they wish to return to the Wallabies for the World Cup. But the European and UK seasons make it impossible for players to finish before starting a campaign with a Super Rugby team, given the tournaments overlap. The European and UK clubs are extremely demanding over availability, and while offering big dollars to Australia's biggest stars, they rarely negotiate with those who intend to return mid-season. The only way for Australia's overseas-based players to be eligible for the World Cup is to finish the 2013-14 season around May next year, and return to play in Australian Super Rugby, club and potentially national domestic competitions. They still would not be eligible for the Wallabies in 2014, but after a full pre-season and season with a Super Rugby franchise in 2015, McKenzie would consider them. "They won't be able to just jump into a Super team at the death," he said. They wouldn't be eligible for finals, and they wouldn't be eligible for the Wallabies. They can't go cherry-picking their way through and grabbing all the trinkets along the way, you've actually got to commit to something. We want people to invest in Australian rugby, and that's a complete investment; so they're out promoting the game, pressing the flesh, doing the coaching clinics, developing the game on and off the field. We as a union will be investing in those people, who are giving back to the game in Australia. Guys who aren't in Australia are obviously doing other things, that's their decision, but if they want to come back and represent their country then you've got to fit in to the program. Asked if we'll ever see the 126kg, 203cm scrummaging and running machine Timani back in the Wallabies fold, McKenzie replied: "That's up to him. He's already got a deal, it's up to him to determine how long that deal is. He has been a really good contributor, he's good to have around, but the ball is in his court, and we won't see him until at best 2015. McKenzie said actions would speak louder than words for any player who has, or will, make the move overseas before 2015 yet still talk about World Cup participation. "There's a lot of people talking about it, I'm hearing it and I keep in communication, but in the end you've got to do something about it," McKenzie said. I understand coming back is complicated because the windows don't line up, and you've still got to do a deal. Guys coming back, there's all these financial expectations and salary caps all need to be considered. It's not as simple as walking back and saying, 'Hi, I'm here'. You might be here but you've got to work out how much money is available. You take a risk when you leave, because once you get outside the system, you don't control the circumstances of getting back in the system.
