Injured young gun Jordan Petaia is set to join the Wallabies in New Zealand for the Bledisloe Cup Tests and is still a chance to play in the opening match on October 11 in Wellington.

The 20-year-old Queenslander has linked up with the Wallabies in camp in the NSW Hunter Valley and officials confirmed he will be on the plane on Friday night.

Petaia suffered a hip flexor injury with Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby grand final and there were fears he could miss the New Zealand leg.
