Head coach Les Kiss has to overcome an injury setback to a key member of the Wallabies backline ahead of the 26 September Test against the Springboks.
Carter Gordon is expected to miss the clash with the world champions in Perth due to a suspected leg fracture in Sunday’s 28-28 draw with Argentina in Mendoza.
Scans reportedly confirmed the injury, which could keep the 25-year-old playmaker out for around two months.

It’s another blow for Gordon, who had established himself as head coach Kiss’ first-choice flyhalf after returning to rugby from his NRL stint.
Ben Donaldson started against Los Pumas, while Ryan Lonergan finished the match at 10 after Gordon was forced off.
Tom Lynagh could also return from a lengthy injury layoff when the Reds face the Force.
