“Taniela is on the sideline at the moment. He has got a bit of a hamstring complaint but we’re just going to monitor him and just see how he goes over the next couple of days,” Ryles said.The Wallabies will target Fiji’s scrum on the weekend and would love Tupou resuming his place at tight-head prop after a damaging display in Paris.
“Himself and Pone [Fa’amausili] have been doing a lot of stuff off the field and then dropping into training at different stages. I’m not sure if it will be this week but they’ll be close.Jones is not expected to make wholesale changes to his Wallabies starting XV but needs to start either Nic White or Issak Fines-Leleiwasa after first-choice halfback Tate McDermott was ruled out with concussion.
The Wallabies may consider Kellaway on the bench, in place of Lalakai Foketi, while second-rower Nick Frost is close to a return after picking up a nasty cut on his ear in the Bledisloe Cup that has required regular stitching.
