Stirling Mortlock will take no part in Australia's tour of Britain and Ireland after suffering another injury setback.

The former Wallabies captain had already been ruled out of the first match against England with a knee injury but was due to join the squad on Sunday after staying in australia for further treatment.

However, the 32-year-old will also miss games against Ireland, Scotland and Wales after re-injuring himself in training.

The Wallabies have yet to decide on a replacement for Mortlock, who joins fellow centres Rob Horne and Berrick Barnes as casualties from the tour.
