MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former Wallabies lock Will Skelton is still hoping to find a way to play at the World Cup while continue on at Saracens, the English club's director of rugby Mark McCall told Australian media.

Skelton, a driving force in Saracens' run to a third European championship in four years, is ineligible to play for the Wallabies according to the nation's rules on overseas-based players but could be selected if he signs a domestic contract for the 2020 season.
