Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi will miss at least the first half of the Rugby Championship due to a bicep injury.

The powerful centre suffered the injury during the Wallabies’ June Tests against Ireland, but the full severity was only revealed on Sunday after he finally underwent scans.

Kerevi will be sidelined for three to four months, which leaves him in a race against time to be available for the latter stages of the Rugby Championship, while he will play no further part in Super Rugby.
