WALES lock Bradley Davies has been ruled out of the final autumn Test against Australia because of a shoulder injury.

The Cardiff Blues forward suffered the blow in last weekend’s victory against Argentina and has undergone surgery.

Luke Charteris and Ian Evans start against Tonga tomorrow evening with Newport Gwent Dragons skipper Andrew Coombs playing at blindside flanker.

Perpignan’s Charteris is unavailable for the Wallabies encounter, leaving Evans and Coombs fighting it out to partner Alun Wyn Jones.
