Wallabies fullback ruled out of Eden Park test against All Blacks

The Wallabies have announced that fullback Andrew Kellaway will miss the first Test against the All Blacks at Eden Park.

Kellaway suffered a calf strain which typically can take 1-3 weeks to recover if minor. The team did not announce an immediate call up, suggesting that a reshuffle will be made within the back three.

The Roar‘s Christy Doran has reported that Max Jorgensen is set to start at fullback in Kellaway’s place, with Corey Toole and Harry Potter named as the wingers.

Potter played the first Test against the British & Irish Lions before going down in the first half of the second half with a hamstring strain.

The Wallabies have battled through numerous injuries this year in multiple positions as they prepare for their third fullback of the season.

Standout No.15 Tom Wright was one of the Wallabies’ best before going down early against the Springboks in Cape Town. Now his replacement Kellaway, impressive against Argentina, has been struck by injury.

However, they have been boosted by the return of multiple players to the squad for the Bledisloe series, with halfback Jake Gordon and tighthead Allan Alalaatoa joining Potter as returning players.

The Wallabies announce their team for the first Bledisloe along with the All Blacks on Thursday.
