Rolling injury coverage:
Argentina:
Argentina's key loose forward Pablo Matera will play no further part at the Rugby World Cup after his injury-enforced exit from the tournament in France was confirmed on Tuesday with Lucas Paulos called up as his replacement.
Australia:
The Wallabies only fly-half Carter Gordon and lock Nick Frost have been ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup, but with the side playing out all four of their pool matches and relying on Fiji to lose without a bonus point to Portugal to book a place into the quarterfinals, it's unlikely the side will play again this tournament.
Wallabies captain Will Skelton has been ruled out of his side's clash with Wales after the towering lock was ruled of the team's loss to Fiji just minutes before kick-off after he suffered a calf injury at training earlier in the week.
Taniela Tupou has suffered minor hamstring strain, a Wallabies spokesperson confirmed on Thursday [14/9]. There is no timeframe for Tupou's return but he is now expected to miss the side's must-win clash against Wales after he was ruled out of the Wallabies' Fiji loss.
Wallabies hooker Jordan Uelese is set to miss the side's clash with Wales after he suffered a concussion in their loss to Fiji on Sunday.

McDermott has entered the 12 day concussion stand down protocol after he was deemed to have a grade one concussion. He is expected to return for the side's important clash with Wales in Lyon on Sunday, September 24.
