The Wallabies have been dealt another blow to their midfield stocks after Tevita Kuridrani was ruled out for three months with a pectoral injury.
Kuridrani sustained the injury in the Brumbies’ 40-31 victory over the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday and joins Reds star Samu Kerevi on the sidelines, who is also out for three months, having undergone surgery on a torn bicep earlier this month.
The Waratahs’ Curtis Rona and Rebels’ Reece Hodge now appear to be in a two-man race for the Wallabies’ number 13 jersey ahead of the Rugby Championship, which starts on August 18.
