Lukhan Tui has not been included in the Wallabies’ 30-man squad for the Rugby Championship matches against the Springboks and Argentina.
The 22-year old flank has withdrawn from the squad after being involved in an incident with a fan following the Wallabies loss to Argentina on the Gold Coast.

Tui’s loss is compounded by the fact that fellow back-rower Pete Samu has been ruled out for four weeks after injuring his knee in the loss against Argentina
In their place comes Rebels flank Angus Cottrell, who joins the international fold for the first time after impressing in Super Rugby.
Another new face in the squad is Waratahs scrumhalf Jake Gordon, who gets his call-up after Joe Powell was left behind to get minutes in the NRC for the Canberra Vikings.
Wallabies squad:
Forwards – Allan Alaalatoa, Rory Arnold, Adam Coleman, Angus Cottrell, Folau Fainga’a, Ned Hanigan, Michael Hooper (c), Sekope Kepu, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, David Pocock, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Tom Robertson, Izack Rodda, Rob Simmons, Scott Sio, Caleb Timu, Taniela Tupou
