Wallabies backline star sidelined

The Wallabies have confirmed that one of head coach Les Kiss’ go-to men will miss the rest of the Nations Championship, and have opted against calling up a replacement.

Isaac Henry has been ruled out of the November campaign with a hamstring injury. The utility back started at outside centre in Sunday’s 45-22 defeat to England.

ICYMI: Double blow for England

The 27-year-old made his Test debut against Japan on 8 August and has since become a regular in Kiss’ selection plans, starting five times this season.

Australia are already without Hunter Paisami, who withdrew from the initial touring squad for personal reasons.

Len Ikitau is expected to remain in the midfield for Saturday’s clash with Scotland in Edinburgh, while Filipo Daugunu offers another option.

Veteran playmaker Kurtley Beale is also available to Kiss.
