Iaone out for Wallabies

Iaone out for Wallabies

Australia centre Digby Ioane has been ruled out of their autumn international against Scotland.

The 24-year-old Queensland star has suffered a shoulder injury and is replaced in the starting line-up by Western Force's Ryan Cross.

The injury is to Ioane's right shoulder, rather than the left which required reconstruction earlier this year and sidelined him for six months.

Lachlan Turner takes Cross' place on the bench, meaning the Wallabies have now made two changes from Sunday's 20-20 draw in Ireland.

Revised team: Adam Ashley-Cooper (Brumbies); Peter Hynes, (Queensland Reds), Ryan Cross (Western Force), Quade Cooper (Queensland Reds), Drew Mitchell (NSW Waratahs); Matt Giteau (Brumbies), Will Genia (Queensland Reds); Benn Robinson (NSW Waratahs), Stephen Moore (Brumbies), Ben Alexander (Brumbies), James Horwill (Queensland Reds), Mark Chisholm (Brumbies), Rocky Elsom (Brumbies, capt), George Smith (Brumbies), Wycliff Palu (NSW Waratahs).

Replacements: Tatafu Polota-Nau (NSW Waratahs), Sekope Kepu (NSW Waratahs), Dean Mumm (NSW Waratahs), Richard Brown (Western Force), Luke Burgess (NSW Waratahs), Lachlan Turner (NSW Waratahs), James O'Connor (Western Force).
