Wallabies to call on reserves after lock injury toll

Coach Joe Schmidt is set to call in reinforcements for the Wallabies' second-row after injuries and errors almost derailed their opening tour Test against Japan.

The Australians have flown on to London after narrowly avoiding an historic first loss to the Eddie Jones-coached Brave Blossoms, with a 19-15 scoreline in Saturday's Test in Tokyo.

While Schmidt gambled with an understrength team, their cause wasn't helped by the loss of locks Lukhan Salakaia-Loto (ribs) and his replacement Josh Canham (concussion) within the opening 20 minutes.
