MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia loose forward Ben McCalman has suffered another fracture in his troublesome right shoulder and will miss the June internationals against Fiji, Scotland and Italy.

The hard-working number eight suffered two fractures in his right scapula while on Wallabies duty last year and was found to have sustained a third after playing his sole Super Rugby match in the current season for Perth-based Western Force in April.
