MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia winger Adam Ashley-Cooper and number eight Wycliff Palu will miss the Wallabies' Rugby Championship clash against Argentina on the Gold Coast on Saturday due to injuries.

Ashley-Cooper has been ruled out for one week with an ongoing nerve compression injury to his neck, which was exacerbated in the tight win over South Africa in Perth at the weekend, the team said in a media release on Monday.
