SYDNEY (Reuters) -Some 15 months after captaining the Wallabies in Joe Schmidt's first test in charge, injury-plagued loose forward Liam Wright was without a club on Monday after parting company with the Queensland Reds.

The 27-year-old made his Australia debut under Michael Cheika in 2019 but a catalogue of injuries limited him to four further tests until last July, when Schmidt handed him the captaincy for the first of three tests against Wales.
