Where now for Wallaby front row?

Greg Growden, of the Sydney Morning Herald , looks at Australia's front row options following Benn Alexander's season ending injury.

"The Wallabies front-row stocks have already been exposed after loose-head prop Benn Robinson limped off the training paddock with a knee injury yesterday, placing him in serious doubt for Sunday's Test against Samoa.

"As many of the Reds players and key Wallabies such as Rocky Elsom and David Pocock were allowed to sit out training, it was difficult to work out what exactly will be the Australian Test line-up before it is announced this morning.

"The only certainty appeared to be that the Test front-row would be Robinson, Stephen Moore and Ben Alexander at tighthead. But this all changed when Robinson was hurt during an attacking drill and hobbled off Coogee Oval feeling his right knee."
