Wallabies prop forward Sekope Kepu has been ruled out of this weekend’s Rugby Championship match against the All Blacks.
This comes after Kepu sustained a knee injury during training yesterday.
It is unknown how long Kepu will be out of action, with the 17-test cap prop likely to be replaced by James Slipper.
Slipper was propping cover on the bench during the All Blacks 27-19 win last week while Ben Alexander is another option.
However, it will not only be the Wallabies who field a new front row, with Tony Woodcock being replaced after he was ruled out for the All Blacks with a rib injury.
The All Blacks will host the Wallabies at 7:35pm this Saturday while Argentina will meet the Springboks at 7:10am Sunday.
