MELBOURNE - After rejecting overtures from rugby league club Sydney Roosters to remain with the New South Wales Waratahs, fullback Max Jorgensen said the misery of missing last year's World Cup due to injury was fuelling his push for a Wallabies jersey.

The 19-year-old re-committed to Super Rugby Pacific's Waratahs and the Joe Schmidt-coached Wallabies until the end of 2026 in a deal announced on Wednesday.
