SYDNEY: Wallaby back Pat McCabe was ruled out of rugby for the rest of the year after sustaining a neck injury during last weekend’s 23-21 loss to the British and Irish Lions in the first Test at Brisbane.
Specialists said he needed to properly rest to prevent it becoming career-threatening.
The 25-year-old first fractured his neck on last year’s European tour and will need to wear a brace for at least six weeks before further assessments are made.
“It’s unfortunate that having completed the healing process from last year’s injury, that it has happened again,” Wallabies doctor Warren McDonald said.
