Les Kiss provides Len Ikitau injury update after Springboks thriller

Wallabies coach Les Kiss provided an update on centre Len Ikitau, who suffered an ankle injury during Australia's 42-38 victory over the Springboks. Ikitau scored two first-half tries before limping off, prompting Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to shift into the midfield. Kiss confirmed the issue involves an ankle but noted the full extent remains unknown as the team takes a precautionary approach.

The injury comes alongside a disciplinary citing for centre Hunter Paisami following a 76th-minute incident, creating midfield concerns ahead of two Bledisloe Cup Tests against the All Blacks. Australia held on for the four-point win despite receiving late yellow cards to Harry Wilson, Ryan Lonergan, Suaalii, and Paisami.
