Four Wallabies players shave head for Lealiifano
Wallabies players L-R: Matt Giteau, Matt Toomua, Will Genia and David Pocock shaved their heads for Lealiifano, who was diagnosed with Leukemia.

Christian Lealiifano will not be at ANZ Stadium in Sydney tomorrow but four Wallabies will make sure his presence is felt when they face the All Blacks.

Matt Toomua, David Pocock, Matt Giteau and Will Genia all shaved their heads this week in a mark of respect to fan favourite Lealiifano, who was diagnosed with Leukemia two weeks ago.

Genia says Lealiifano would be in the back of all of their minds tomorrow night, as he undergoes treatment in Canberra.

The Wallabies and the rugby community have led an outpouring of support for Lealiifano since his diagnosis, with players visiting him in hospital and tweeting messages to the Brumbies captain.

The Wallabies will host the All Blacks at 10pm tomorrow while the Springboks will take on Argentina at 3.05am Sunday.
