Updated . First published at
The Wallabies will miss out on having Will Skelton for the side's clash against Argentina, but the forward could be an inclusion for the Bledisloe Cup.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Skelton is a very real chance of returning and giving Australia a big boost in the search of winning a title that haven't held since 2002.
Skelton will fly out of Sydney and return to France to re-join his club La Rochelle, but could be back in four weeks to face New Zealand.
