The Wallabies are facing an injury crisis after the loss of Izaia Perese in the 25-17 second Test defeat against England at Suncorp Stadium.
The Waratahs star had been sporting strapping on his knee when he collapsed to the ground in agony.
Perese was fielding a cross-kick when the injury occurred and play quickly came to a halt as he lay on the ground.

Perese, who was an early addition to the match after Jordan Petaia failed a head injury assessment, was stretchered off the field wincing.
It adds more salt to the wound of Dave Rennie’s team, which is already down several players due to injury.
Perese and Petaia weren’t the only victims of the second match with forwards Scott Sio and Cadeyrn Neville joining them on the sidelines in the second half.

“That’s the thing about our collision sport, it’s the way it is,” Rennie told Nine and Stan Sport.
“Scotty [Sio], we’re not sure. He lost all feeling right down his arm, so it’s something to do with his neck or shoulder.
“Obviously the other guys you’d know about. Cadeyrn [Neville], MCL we think, got cleaned out from the side. Jordie [Petaia], knocked out.”

Andrew Kellaway also delivered some grim news in a halftime interview with Nine and Stan Sport, revealing that he is looking at eight weeks on the sideline as he rehabs his hamstring.
The Rebels outside back is targeting a Rugby Championship return against South Africa.
Like Kellaway, Tom Banks was injured in the opening match at Optus Stadium in Perth, with the Brumbies player suffering a broken left arm.
The Wallabies will head into the series decider at the Sydney Cricket Ground next Saturday as the walking wounded.
