The Wallabies have been dealt another injury blow with the news that wing Digby Ioane will miss Saturday's Bledisloe Cup clash against the All Blacks.
Australia had hoped that Ioane would be able to recover from a knee injury sustained against South Africa more than a fortnight but on Monday it was confimred that he would not be able to take the field at Suncorp Stadium.
The Reds fly was able to play against the Pumas (and the match-winning try) but the injury flared up again during the long flight back from Argentina.
The good news for Wallaby fans is that 31-Test winger is expected to be fit for the November tour of Europe.
Coach Robbie Deans must is likely to choose bewteen specialist wingers Dom Shipperley or Drew Mitchell to take over on the wing.
Number eight Radike Samo has been cleared for selection on Tuesday after overcoming a biceps problem.

all these injuries to the wallabies is gutting because you want to see both teams at full strength and really get a proper idea of whether the all blacks can actually be beaten.

Something about this article feels a little rushed and unchecked...
"a knee injury sustained against South Africa more than a fortnight but on Monday"
"The Reds fly was able to play against the Pumas"
"Coach Robbie Deans must is likely to choose bewteen specialist wingers Dom Shipperley or Drew Mitchell to take over on the wing."
