The Wallabies nightmare of injuries has continued with flanker Michael Hooper ruled out of Sunday's Test against Wales with a concussion.

It comes just days after six players were ruled out of the series finale in Cardiff after picking up injuries during their three-point defeat to Ireland.

The veteran back-rower presented with concussion symptoms following the Test and was ruled out on Monday according to Wallabies officials.

Hooper will return home to Australia today, with the Wallabies yet to confirm the line-up.

Wallabies will meet Wales at 3.15am Sunday.
