Son of a Wallabies' gun Louis Lynagh has been forced out of Italy's Six Nations squad after having to undergo a knee operation.
The Azzurri, as expected, omitted the 24-year-old winger when they announced their 30-strong squad on Friday, just a couple of days since Lynagh had surgery to repair damage to his lateral collateral ligament in his left knee.
Though no time frame has been given for his likely return, there's no chance of Lynagh, son of former Wallabies' World Cup-winning great Michael Lynagh, continuing his exciting international progress in the competition that runs from February to mid-March.
