Rugby: Larkham out of Wales match

SYDNEY - First five-eighth Stephen Larkham has been ruled out of the Australian rugby team to play Wales here tomorrow night through injury and Sam Norton-Knight has been called in for his test debut.

Larkham was ruled out today because of a minor hamstring strain suffered in training on Wednesday.

New South Wales Waratahs first five-eighth Norton-Knight was called in from outside the first test squad and will start in the No 10 jersey at Telstra Stadium.

Larkham is expected to be fit to play the second test at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium next week.
