The Wallabies have suffered another backline setback with a key player ruled out of Saturday’s Test against the All Blacks at Eden Park.
Fullback Andrew Kellaway has picked up a calf strain that will sideline him for up to three weeks.
The injury means coach Joe Schmidt will be forced into another reshuffle in a position that has already seen plenty of disruption this season.
According to The Roar, 21-year-old Max Jorgensen is expected to slot in at fullback, with Corey Toole and Harry Potter on the wings. Potter, who featured against the British & Irish Lions before limping off with a hamstring issue, is among several players recalled for the Bledisloe Cup series, alongside halfback Jake Gordon and tighthead Allan Alaalatoa.

The Wallabies are now missing their first- and second-choice fullbacks through injury. Tom Wright was one of Australia’s standout performers before going down against the Springboks in Cape Town, while Kellaway – impressive against Argentina – now joins him on the sidelines.
The Wallabies face an All Blacks side reeling from a record defeat to the Springboks in Wellington, with Saturday’s clash set to test Schmidt’s squad depth once again.
