The 29-year-old, who has 59 test caps, suffered the injury at the Wallabies’ training camp last Friday.

After scans on the weekend it was decided he should return to Canberra for further treatment, ruling him out of the three-test series, which gets underway in Brisbane next Wednesday.

Playmaker Matt Toomua, who has been battling a neck injury, returned to the squad on Tuesday after seeking treatment in Canberra, where Rugby Australia’s chief medical officer Warren McDonald is based.
