    Giteau blow for Wallabies

    The Wallabies have been forced to make a late change to their starting line-up for Saturday's Test match against England at Subiaco Oval in Perth.

    Inside centre Matt Giteau has failed to overcome a hip injury and has been ruled out of the side.

    Berrick Barnes, who co-captained the Australian Barbarians during the midweek tour match against England, comes into the starting line-up in Giteau's place, slotting in outside of flyhalf Quade Cooper.

    Peter Hynes has taken Barnes position on the Australian bench.

    Australia - revised: 15 James O'Connor, 14 Digby Ioane, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Luke Burgess, 8 Richard Brown, 7 David Pocock, 6 Rocky Elsom (captain), 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Salesi Ma'afu, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Ben Daley.
    Replacements: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 James Slipper, 18 Mark Chisholm, 19 Matt Hodgson, 20 Will Genia, 21 Peter Hynes, 22 Kurtley Beale.

    Starting to get the feeling Gitueau doesn't like Perth

    Wasn't it a hip injury that kept him out the Brumbies side in Round 1 of S14?

    Hmmm ... OK, then
    I hope this isn't a nasty recurring injury.

    That was a quadriceps injury - but they may be related, coming off a muscle injury can put extra strain on the joints (and vice versa).

    so is this only in Perth or has it happened elsewhere as well

    (this might sound sacrastic but I was actually hoping to see him play unconcussed in Perth just once !)

    Sorry to spoil the conspiracy theory but Bianca moved to Canberra.

    Sharpie's little dig on channel 10 was worth watching.

    Word for word I can't remember but something along the lines of 'Perth doesn't like Gits since he left here so I'm sure he won't miss the boos from the crowd.'
