The Wallabies have lost winger Digby Ioane to injury for this weekend's the final Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks in Brisbane.
Ioane was ruled out last night after suffering a knock to his knee in their last Rugby Championship match in Argentina.
The problem flared up again during the long flight back from South America but Ioane is expected to recover in time to be available for next month's end-of-season tour of Europe.
His absence robs the Wallabies of their most-potent ball-runner as they attempt to end New Zealand's 16-match winning streak.
Coach Robbie Deans has the option of replacing Ioane with returning utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper or specialist wingers Dom Shipperley or Drew Mitchell.
