Hooper joins injury list

-

The Wallabies’ injury crisis has worsened with former skipper Michael Hooper joining the exodus from their spring tour ahead of the final test against Wales. Coach Dave Rennie is scrambling to pull a lineup together for Sunday’s clash, with Hooper the seventh player sidelined following Australia’s 13-10 loss to Ireland after the veteran flanker suffered a concussion. Six players have already flown home to Australia, with Hooper also set to depart Cardiff for Sydney.
