Wallabies rule out Barnes & Tahu

Coach Robbie Deans will not call up replacements for the injured duo

Australia backs Berrick Barnes and Timana Tahu will miss the rest of the Wallabies' European tour after picking up injuries in the win over Italy.

Fly-half Barnes, 22, suffered suspected posterior cruciate ligament damage in the 30-20 victory on Saturday, while centre Tahu has damaged hamstrings.

Queensland Reds fly-half Barnes is due to undergo scans in London ahead of the Cook Cup match against England.

With a squad of 34, coach Robbie Deans will not call up any replacements.

After Saturday's match at Twickenham, Australia will face France, Wales and the Barbarians.

The blow of losing Barnes and Tanu will have been eased by the impressive debuts on Saturday of fly-half Quade Cooper, who scored late on to seal the victory, and 18-year-old utility back James O'Connor.
