Horne failed to complete yesterday’s training session at the Ospreys training base in Swansea, and was omitted from the Qantas Wallabies side this morning, with Queensland Reds centre Anthony Fainga’a being promoted into the starting line-up that will face Wales.
His place on the bench has been taken by Melbourne Rebels halfback Nick Phipps.
Phipps joins Ben Tapuai and Ben Lucas amongst Australia’s backline reinforcements for the match.
The pair of Bens are in line to become the third and fourth Test newcomers provided by the Queensland Reds this season; following on from Rod Davies (Wallaby No 851) and Beau Robinson (No 852) who debuted during the one off Test against Samoa at Sydney in July
