LONDON (Reuters) - Australia have suffered significant disruption after their breakdown master David Pocock was ruled out of Saturday's final November international against England at Twickenham and two players were not considered for a breach of team protocol.

Pocock injured his neck in the 26-7 victory over Italy last weekend but was named to start against England by coach Michael Cheika on Thursday.
