TOKYO: The Wallabies were in disarray last night after vice-captain Berrick Barnes was forced out of tomorrow night's Bledisloe Cup Test after rolling his left ankle at training, with concerns he might also miss the grand slam leg of the tour.

Mortlock cannot immediately be looked upon as a future replacement for Barnes because he is not expected to overcome his leg problems until at least the Ireland Test in Dublin on November 15. With Barnes in the line-up, the back line looked formidable. Now it appears out of whack. Ashley-Cooper has been outstanding at outside-centre, fullback and on the wing for the Wallabies this season, to vie with prop Benn Robinson as Australia's most consistent performer. But at inside-centre, he does not appear so assured.
