Horne pulls out of Wales clash

AUSTRALIA centre Rob Horne yesterday withdrew from the Wallabies team to face Wales at the Millennium Stadium today (2.30pm) due to a hamstring injury.

Horne failed to come through a training session at the Ospreys’ training base in Swansea and his place in the starting line-up will be taken by Queensland Reds centre Anthony Fainga’a.

Fainga’a’s spot among the replacements has been taken by Melbourne Rebels scrum-half Nick Phipps.
