Wallabies lock Rory Arnold has been left in limbo after his Japanese club Hino Red Dolphins cancelled their season following a wild night by players that left a nightclub trashed and left waitresses assaulted.

Seven Red Dolphins players were out in Oita, one of the host cities for the last World Cup, and caused damaged to the bar with alleged instances of groping towards female staff according to a report by the Sydney Morning Herald.

The League One club has cancelled their participation for the rest of the season out of disgrace. Arnold was among a larger group in attendance but was reportedly not involved in any wrongdoing.

But the 32-year-old now faces the prospect of missing Eddie Jones’ World Cup squad without any game time to impress for selection, opting to stay in Japan and train all year after spurning advances from Australia’s Super Rugby sides.

His plan is to stay in Tokyo and keep fit with a personal training regime despite not being able to play any rugby and Jones will have to rely on his past performances to select from.

Arnold is one of the highest-paid Wallabies globally after inking a three-year deal with Hino reportedly worth AUD$4.5mil and is reluctant to turn his back on the contract which is in the second year.

After leaving the Brumbies in 2019, Arnold joined French powerhouse Toulouse for three seasons before moving to Japan in 2022 with Hino Red Dolphins.

As an overseas-based Wallaby, Arnold is subject to the Giteau law and the three-player quota.

Under previous head coach Dave Rennie the lock was used last year in the Rugby Championship against South Africa and Argentina before missing the Bledisloe Cup and end of year tour.

Louis Lynagh makes 2 bold England predictions

I am Krissy by name, greetings to everyone reading this testimony. I have been rejected by my husband after six years of marriage because another woman had a spell on him and he left me and the 3 kids to suffer. One day when I was reading through the web, I saw a post on how this spell caster on this contact drakerecospellcaster@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2202890676 has helped a woman to get back her husband and I gave him a reply to his contacts and he told me that a woman had a spell on my husband and he told me that he will help me and after two days, I will have my husband back. I believed him and today I am glad to let you all know that this spell caster called Dr. Akereco, has the power to bring lovers back and help you in any situation. I'm happy with my husband. Thanks for Dr. Akereco.
