Wallabies dealt McCabe blow

The Wallabies have been dealt a significant blow with the news that powerful centre Pat McCabe has been ruled out through injury for at least a month.

The abrasive midfielder has been diagnosed with a stress fracture to his lower left leg that could keep him out of the game for up to six weeks.

The injury was confirmed by scans at the Wallabies' Rugby Championship training camp being held in Sydney this week, but there are no plans to replace McCabe in the squad as yet.
