League: Hindmarsh out of Tri-Nations test

MELBOURNE - Second rower Nathan Hindmarsh has been ruled out of the Australian squad for Sunday's Tri-Nations test against Great Britain in Wigan with a knee injury, the Australian Broadcasting Corp said today.

Hindmarsh has struggled with the injury since the final round of the National Rugby League regular season.

Reserves Jason Ryles and Willie Mason will face fitness tests today.

New Zealand beat Great Britain 42-26 last week to lead the competition.
