Kerevi sutained the injury at the Commonwealth Games sevens tournament.
“Sevens hold a special part in my heart,” Kerevi said. “I was away for a long time and for me to be able to come back to Australia and put on the gold jersey was important to me and I wasn’t in the 15s at the time.
“They gave me that opportunity and welcomed me with open arms. That was the bond we made last year after the Olympics. I gave them my word that if I was available I would definitely come back and try with Com Games and here we are.”
He limped off with a right knee injury during a tense 7-5 win over Kenya as Australia finished fourth at the Comm Games.
Later Kerevi told reporters he felt ‘alright’ and added “I’m always confident [to be fit to play] but I’ll get a doc on it and see. It was just a big bang but then once it settled down it was fine.” He didn’t feature again after that pool match.
