SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies number eight Ben McCalman will miss the third test against England in Sydney this weekend after being sidelined for up to six weeks with a fractured collar bone.

The loose forward suffered the right scapular injury after coming on as a replacement in the 23-7 loss to England in Melbourne on Saturday, which saw Australia go 2-0 down in the three-match series.
