Apparently so. Had surgery almost immediately after the NRC concluded, but I didn't see any occasion during the NRC where he suffered that injury.

Yeah, he'd buggered his shoulder and was clearly lacking what little confidence in contact he previously had.
My opinion of Mogg is that he's a Latham the second.
Once he naturally fills out a little and puts on a bit more beef, he'll have confidence in contact to make the tackles he needs to. The kid can hit seriously hard, getting him to do it consistantly is the thing. He'll continue being patchy, with moments of brilliance and clangers, but once he truly finds his feet, he's going to be very good, unless we lost him to France or Japan first.
His performances in gold were much better than people remember. A few kicks failing to find touch, and a few missed tackles aside, he also made a shit tonne of metres with his boot, a few really good breaks and his positioning was pretty good.
It's also worth noting that his few games in gold were at the very beginning of Link's tenure, with To'omua at 10, other new faces, and a backline trying to learn a different style of play.
Folau's 2013 season set a pretty high benchmark too.
I am a big Mogg fan, but in no universe does he get the nod ahead of Coleman based on his capabilities as a defender. For all Coleman's defensive shortcomings, Mogg is still the human turnstile and struggles tackling anything with two legs.

I always thought Coleman could be a world class scrum half... Massive heart and high work rate always keeps the defense on its toes... Mogg just has massive boot, and good all round running game. He will have a top season no doubt... Lucky to have both in the squad I think...

Mogg needs to get his mojo back , didn't realise he was carrying a shoulder which explains a lot , when on song few better on the fly and love his kicking distance .

You mean this clean break? Might want to knock the cobwebs off that selective memory of yours
Don't make me find the clips of him on defense against the Darkness, please. He has a lot to offer but he's still got a ton to prove if we're talking about him playing for the Wallabies at the RWC.
I must say thats a Bloody nice cover tackle by the lock on Mogg

That rather large soap dodger is Geoff Parling. Standing at 6'6 if he was an inch shorter Mogg's career might be a bit different.
Congratulations to Nic White and David Pocock on the announcement of the leadership group and dual vice captaincy.
It will be great to see Pocock back on deck and given the rehab programs they have these days I see no reason why he will not regain his playing capability.
Nic White had a great year for the Brumbies last year, leading the stats in try assists and line break assists and is appreciated by the playing group as evidenced by his being runner up to Butler in Best player, chosen by their peers, by a point. He has previously been captain of the Brumby Runners and was chosen to become the youngest to captain the Brumbies in 2013.
Hoping for another great year and I don't think a lot realize how close they were last year but its a bugger when you have 70% possession and the referee and assistants don't police the offside but that's gone and here's to 2015 with Steven Moore and his deputies and teammates giving it a red hot crack.

Very happy for Nic - real competitor and genuinely nice young bloke.
Just hope he kicks shithouse when the Reds travel to Canberra in a few weeks.
Pocock was a bit of a surprise but bloke is obviously respected by all, on and off the field

Has no one told him White is signed until 2016?

Genia in recent years has been a long way from best. White was the Wallaby half but incessant kicking saw his demise in favour of Phipps.
