SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies Jack Dempsey and Lachlan Swinton have been ruled out of Super Rugby AU action this weekend by foot injuries in a huge blow to the ailing New South Wales Waratahs ahead of their clash against the competition-leading Queensland Reds.

The Waratahs have endured a miserable start to the season after shipping 155 in points four straight defeats, including record pummellings at the hands of the Reds and ACT Brumbies in their first two matches.
