Larkham out of Wales clash

Stephen Larkham has been ruled out of the Australia side for Saturday's pivotal World Cup clash with Wales in Cardiff after suffering a knee injury in training.

Larkham will undergo exploratory surgery in Montpellier on Monday that will determine whether or not his World Cup - and his Test career - are over as he has plans to retire after this tournament.

But Australia coach John Connolly is hopeful Larkham could be available for the Wallabies' final Pool B match against Canada on September 29.
