Sydney - Former captain Stirling Mortlock has been ruled out of Australia's rugby tour of Britain and Ireland after aggravating his calf muscle.
Mortlock was due to fly out of Australia and join the squad in Dublin on Sunday for the last three Tests against Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but re-injured his calf muscle during a training run, the Australian Rugby Union said on Friday.
The Wallabies have already lost fellow centres Rob Horne and Berrick Barnes.
Australia play England on Saturday to open their Test tour.
